Buying a used 2018 BMW G310R? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2018 G310R carries the same two recalls as its GS sibling: a high-severity brake caliper corrosion campaign and a medium-severity side stand issue that can damage the frame. Neither was a stop-driving or park-outside recall. NHTSA lists five owner complaints, one involving a crash and no fires or injuries, spread thinly across service brakes, electrical, vehicle speed control and power train. These are unverified owner reports and the count is too small to read as a trend.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the brake caliper recall repair was performed, with dealer paperwork
- Check the side stand mounting area of the frame for cracks or flaking paint
- Ride-test throttle response and braking, and scan for stored electrical fault codes
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
