2 recalls covering model years 2020. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On these BMW motorcycles, the brake light is supposed to stay on steadily during hard, emergency braking. Instead, on these motorcycles the brake light can flash. Because of this, the motorcycles do not meet the federal safety standard that covers lamps and lighting equipment.
BMW is recalling certain S 1000 RR motorcycles because the oil cooler hoses may not be attached properly to the oil pipes on the engine. This can allow oil to leak out from where the hoses connect. Leaking oil may drip onto the path of the rear tire as the motorcycle is ridden, which increases the risk of a crash for the rider.
