BMW is recalling certain model year 2013 R1200 GS motorcycles manufactured January 9, 2013, through February 8, 2013. Due to an insufficient torque of a locking bolt, the front fork tube may loosen. If the fork loosens it may hinder the rider's ability to control the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
