POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

Component/System: Clutch assembly (friction plates/engagement mechanism) While riding my 2024 BMW R1300GS with approximately 3,000 miles on the odometer, the clutch suddenly failed while climbing a rocky hillside trail. The clutch stopped engaging entirely, which caused an immediate loss of power to the rear wheel and resulted in a crash. Safety Risk: This failure created a serious safety hazard. The loss of power occurred on a steep, rocky slope, and I could have easily fallen off the side of the hill when the motorcycle lost traction and stalled. The failure left me stranded in a remote location, requiring a 45-mile tow on backroads in Idaho. This incident put both my safety and the safety of others at risk. Inspection/Confirmation: •The failure has not yet been reproduced by a dealer or independent service center, but the motorcycle and failed clutch are available for inspection upon request. •At the time of filing this complaint, the motorcycle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Symptoms/Warnings: There were no warning lights, error messages, or prior symptoms indicating a problem. The clutch failed without warning.
