- Notes
- Possibility tolerance between carburetor linkage is too close.if the throttle linkage binds on throttle cable during operation it may cause severe engine damage due to over running engine while using the clutch.also the accelerator return spring possibly may brake due to vibration.(correct by installing spring where necessary.check linkage clearances.)

Has your BMW been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A BMW dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
