The 2006 BMW K1200R has two recalls, both involving the brakes, with the more serious being a front brake fluid issue where vibration at sustained high engine speeds can cause the fluid to foam, allowing air into the brake system and significantly reducing front stopping power.
The second recall involves the integrated anti-lock brake system cable, which may have been damaged during assembly and can contact the front forks during operation, causing the ABS to stop functioning.
