Author Message   Midknyte Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2014 - 09:23 pm:        My new to me X1, 6,000 miles on the clock, had only one key so I ordered a new set. In order to order them, they took my VIN and found that it has an unaddressed shock mount recall. Part(s) ordered. Should I consider it grounded til fixed? I have been and would be blissfully riding unaware otherwise. How much trouble did these things cause?   Mmmi_grad Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2014 - 09:27 pm:        Don't sweat ride it hard. Its just a updated better set up. Don't let it stop you!   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, August 31, 2014 - 09:41 pm:        I don't think any actually broke. I think they pulled it due to vendor's lack of QC and traceability. At least that's what Mr. Buell said at a gathering I attended. Like they tested one at random and it was weaker than it was supposed to be and they asked the vendor "how many are like this?" Vendor: "Do what now?" It was an uncertainty I think.
