2019 BMW K1600B Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2019 BMW K1600B has 2 recalls, both carrying serious crash risk: a transmission defect that can cause two gears to engage at once, locking the rear wheel, and a rear suspension link strut that can break and allow the suspension to drop onto the rear wheel. When two gears engage simultaneously, the resulting drivetrain bind can lock the rear wheel without warning, destabilizing the motorcycle. The suspension concern involves a link strut connecting the rear suspension to the frame; if it fractures, the suspension can drop suddenly and contact the rear wheel, causing an abrupt loss of control.
