What's wrong, in plain English

BMW is recalling certain S 1000R and S 1000XR motorcycles because a dealership software update may have accidentally turned off the 'front wheel lift-off assistant' feature within the Dynamic Pro riding mode, without telling the rider it had been turned off. A rider who doesn't know this safety feature is deactivated may experience unexpected handling and control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a BMW dealer or call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
3. Check and adjust the Dynamic Pro riding mode settings as instructed; dealers will also inspect the motorcycle for free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V051000.
