3 recalls across 9 model years
The BMW K 1600 B has 3 recalls spanning 2017 through 2025, with the most serious being a deteriorating seal on the reverse gear control unit across 2017-2025 models that allows moisture into the unit, causing it to overheat and creating a fire risk.
The 2024 model year has a front suspension strut that may contain a faulty proportional valve that can work loose, causing the strut to fail and the front end to lose stability while riding. On 2019-2020 models, the rear suspension link strut connecting to the frame may lack sufficient strength, crack or deform under load, and allow the rear of the motorcycle to contact the rear wheel, which disrupts handling and control.
