2020 BMW R 1250 Gs Recalls & Complaints

The 2020 BMW R 1250 GS has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the gearbox input shaft, which can break and lock the rear wheel, and a driveline pivot pin that can loosen and destabilize the motorcycle, both raising the risk of a crash.

On the brake side, the front brake calipers can leak fluid while the motorcycle is parked, and over time that fluid loss can reduce braking power. There is also a brake light issue where the light flashes rather than stays steady during hard braking, which can confuse other drivers. A lower-severity recall addresses the brake fluid reservoir cap, which may not clearly label the correct fluid type or filling procedure, leaving the door open for improper maintenance that could affect brake performance.
