The 2020 BMW K 1600 B has two recalls, the more serious being a rear suspension link strut that can crack or fail and allow the rear of the motorcycle to contact the rear wheel, which can destabilize the bike and cause a crash.
The second recall involves the seal on the reverse gear control unit, which can deteriorate and let moisture into the unit. That moisture can cause the control unit to overheat, raising the risk of a fire.
