3 recalls across 8 model years
The BMW R 1200 R has 3 recalls covering 2007–2014 model years, with the most serious being a fuel pump defect on 2011–2014 models where the pump can crack during operation, leak fuel, and create a fire risk. A second fuel system recall affects 2009–2010 models that were previously repaired under an earlier campaign using a support ring fix rather than a full pump replacement — those vehicles can still develop a fuel leak with the same fire risk, meaning the prior partial repair did not fully resolve the issue.
On 2007–2010 models, the rear wheel mounting flange can crack, allowing the mounting bolts to loosen and the rear wheel to lose its connection to the motorcycle, which can cause sudden instability and a crash.
