Buying a used 2023 BMW S 1000 RR? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 2 owner complaints on file

The 2023 BMW S 1000 RR has 2 recalls covering a hand brake lever defect and possible ignition lock failure. These make brake control condition and ignition operation the main recall-related inspection points. NHTSA has 2 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, with electrical system, unknown or other, and engine categories each appearing 1 time. The complaint record lists 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries; those figures do not establish whether either recall repair was completed.

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 VIN-specific completion of both recalls.
3. Have the hand brake lever inspected for the recalled defect.
4. Ask about ignition lock trouble, electrical faults, or engine issues.
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.
