Buying a used 2021 BMW R 18? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 1 owner complaints on file

The 2021 BMW R 18 has 2 recalls in this group, both concerning overheating in the reverse-gear system. The titles identify the reverse-gear control unit and reverse-gear unit, making documentation for both campaigns important. The complaint record contains 1 unverified owner report categorized under power train. It lists 0 crashes, 0 fires and 0 injuries. The supplied complaint information does not establish whether that report concerns the same condition as either recall.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify reverse-gear control-unit recall completion by VIN.
3. Verify reverse-gear unit recall completion by VIN.
4. Ask about reverse-gear malfunctions, overheating and power-train repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
