Buying a used 2021 BMW R 1250 GS? Check these 2 recalls first
The recall record thins out for 2021: one high-severity item, the R 1250 gearbox shaft that can break, and one low-severity recall for a tire pressure label that falls off. The leaking front brake caliper recall listed on earlier R 1250 years does not appear for this year. A single unverified owner complaint was filed with NHTSA, categorized only as unknown or other, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported.
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 gearbox shaft recall was completed and get the repair order
- Listen and feel for gearbox or shifting irregularities on a test ride
- Check whether the tire pressure label is present or was replaced under the recall
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
