2010 BMW K1300 GT — Complaint #1039793
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:MOTORCYCLE:KICKSTAND/CENTER STAND filed February 20, 2014
NHTSA complaint #1039793 (ODI reference 10565123) concerns a 2010 BMW K1300 GT and was filed on February 20, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 27, 2013. The vehicle had 24,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Kentucky based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same BMW K1300 GT cohort independently describe similar structure:motorcycle:kickstand/center stand failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2010 BMW K1300 GT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
