The 2014 BMW R Nine T has 5 recalls, the most serious being a structural issue where bolts connecting the right-side swingarm pivot pin to the frame can loosen, affecting handling and stability and raising the risk of losing control.
The fuel system also carries a significant concern: the fuel pump can crack and leak fuel while the motorcycle is running, creating a fire risk if the fuel contacts an ignition source. On the lighting side, the rear turn signals may be partially obscured to drivers following behind, reducing visibility in certain road and traffic conditions. There is also a compliance recall related to the rear turn signal lens area not meeting required visibility standards.
