STRUCTURE:BODY

as i was riding on a highway the left side fairing of the motorcycle ripped off from the wind blast. i got lucky that it was holding on the last very lower screw. that saved me from loosing control of the motorcycle. what if it fell off and went under my rear tire? i don't even want to think about what would've happened. the front part of the fairing is glued to the radiator frame. there is no metal frame or screw. it's just plastic to plastic glued. (if you need pictures, i can send them to you to assist you in your investigation) i think that this is a poor design and it's a potential safety hazard. someone may get hurt or die because of that. i hope you get that problem serious and make bmw do a recall and fix that problem according to all safety standards. thank you in advance.
