3 recalls across 2 model years
The BMW K1200R has 3 recalls covering the 2005 and 2006 model years, with the most serious being a brake fluid foaming issue on 2006 models where vibration at sustained high engine speeds can introduce air into the front brake system, significantly reducing front braking power.
The 2006 model year also has a second brake-related recall: the anti-lock brake system cable can be damaged from assembly and may contact the front forks, causing the ABS to stop functioning. On 2005 models, frequent short trips in cold weather cause condensation to raise the water content in the engine oil, which can lead to oil degradation and engine damage over time.
