Recall on select R 1300 GS Adventure units issued by BMW Motorrad PH
SMC Asia Car Distributors Corporation, the official distributor of BMW cars and motorcycles in the Philippines, has issued a recall for the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure due to an issue involving its Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) system—their marketing term for an automatic transmission.
“A technical review found that an incorrect bolt may have been installed in the Automated Shift Assistant (ASA) clutch release lever in affected units, which may cause unusual noise or clutch concerns over time,” says the service campaign notice.
SMC Asia Car Distributors Corporation, also known as BMW Motorrad Philippines, clarified that the issue affects only specific units and not all BMW R 1300 GS Adventure motorcycles equipped with ASA. The company said affected owners will be contacted directly by authorized BMW Motorrad service centers for inspection and replacement of the affected component. Customers may also verify whether their motorcycle is included in the recall by checking their vehicle identification number (VIN) on the official BMW Motorrad website.
