BMW R 1300 GS starter relay can overheat critical

Reported 2024-07-26 · Campaign 24V557000 · Model years: 2024

The relay that switches on the starter motor has a housing that may have been made incorrectly. A faulty housing can damage the relay, and a damaged relay can get very hot. An overheating electrical part on the motorcycle creates a fire risk. Dealers will fit a new starter relay and load updated software, both at no cost to you. BMW mailed letters to owners on September 23, 2024.
