1 recall across 3 model years
The BMW K 1200 R has 1 recall covering 2006–2008 model years, where the rear wheel mounting flange can crack, allowing the mounting bolts to loosen and the rear wheel to lose its attachment to the motorcycle, which can cause sudden loss of stability and a crash.
When the flange cracks, the wheel is no longer held securely, and the rider may feel instability before the wheel fails entirely. The risk is most acute at speed, where a detaching rear wheel leaves little opportunity to recover control.
