1 recall across 1 model year
The BMW K100RT has 1 recall affecting the 1985 model year, where a ground fault in the stoplight switch can send electrical current through the throttle cable, overheating the cable's inner plastic lining until it softens or melts. If the plastic tube deforms, the throttle can stick or fail to return to idle, leaving the rider unable to reduce engine power. The fault originates in the throttle twist grip housing, meaning the defect sits directly in the rider's hand during operation.
