Summary
The BMW R1300 GS has 4 recalls, all affecting the 2024 model year, with the most serious being an improperly sealed starter relay that allows moisture inside, causing it to overheat, melt, and potentially start a fire.
Because an initial dealer repair for the starter relay did not fully resolve the issue, a second repair is required for motorcycles that were already serviced under the earlier campaign. The other two recalls involve the optional BMW Motorrad accessory side case on 2024 models, where the lid latch can appear closed but fail to hold, allowing the lid to open and detach while riding and become a hazard for other traffic. As with the starter relay, an earlier repair attempt for the side case latch was found to be insufficient, and affected motorcycles that received that prior fix need a follow-up repair.
