The 2020 BMW R 1250 R has two recalls, the more serious being a brake light that flashes instead of staying steady during emergency braking, which can confuse following drivers and raise the risk of a rear-end collision.
The second recall concerns the brake fluid reservoir cap, which may not clearly identify the correct type of brake fluid or the proper procedure for refilling it. If the wrong fluid is used during routine maintenance, braking performance can be compromised.
