3 recalls across 2 model years
The BMW R 1250 R has 3 recalls covering the 2020-2021 model years, with the most serious being a 2020 brake light defect where the light flashes instead of staying steady during hard braking, which can confuse following drivers and raise the risk of a rear-end collision.
The 2020 model year also has a brake fluid reservoir cap that lacks clear labeling for the correct fluid type and fill procedure, meaning a service technician or owner who follows the cap's guidance could use the wrong fluid or fill it incorrectly, degrading brake performance. On 2021 models, the tire pressure label affixed to the frame can detach, leaving the rider without a ready reference for correct inflation levels.
