3 recalls across 4 model years
The BMW K1600B has 3 recalls covering 2017 through 2020 model years, with the most serious being a transmission defect on 2018-2020 models where internal parts can engage two gears simultaneously or break apart, locking the rear wheel and causing sudden loss of stability.
The 2019 model year has a separate rear suspension recall where the link strut connecting the suspension to the frame can fracture, causing the rear of the motorcycle to drop and contact the rear wheel, with an abrupt loss of control as the result. The same suspension defect affects 2017 models, where the same strut failure can occur with the same consequence.
