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: â¢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. â¢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.
