Buying a used 2020 BMW S1000 RR? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2020 BMW S1000 RR has 2 recalls covering leaking oil cooler hoses and a brake light that may flash instead of displaying its intended signal. These call for separate checks of oil containment and brake-light operation. NHTSA lists 3 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, with service brakes, structure, and vehicle speed control each appearing 1 time. The complaint record includes 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries; the category counts do not establish recall-related failures.
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.
- Verify VIN-specific completion records for both recalls.
- Inspect oil cooler hoses and connections for leakage.
- Check brake-light behavior and ask about speed-control or structural issues.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
