The 2020 BMW R Nine T has 3 recalls, the most serious being a brake light that flashes during emergency braking instead of staying steady, which can confuse following drivers and raise the risk of a rear-end collision.
The remaining recall involves the brake fluid reservoir cap, which may not clearly identify the correct fluid type or how to fill the reservoir. If the wrong fluid is used during maintenance, braking performance can be compromised.
