The 2011 BMW K1300 S has 2 recalls, both rated at equal severity, with the most critical being a rear suspension bearing that can corrode and restrict movement in the link lever, reducing handling and raising the risk of losing control.
The second recall concerns the front brake system, where brake fluid can foam and reduce braking capability, which may extend stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
