BMW S 1000 Rr Recalls

The BMW S 1000 RR has 11 recalls, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2022 models where improperly lubricated clutch cover bolts can loosen and allow oil to leak onto hot engine components or the rear tire, raising the risk of fire or loss of control.

The 2025 model year has a recall for the optional emergency call system, which a software error can deactivate, meaning first responders may not receive crash notification or location data in an emergency. On 2023 models, the hand brake lever can fail to function correctly, extending stopping distances. The 2020 model year has a front brake caliper that can slowly leak fluid while parked, gradually reducing brake fluid volume and degrading braking performance over time.

Going back to the mid-2010s, certain 2016-2017 models have a rear suspension deflection lever bolt that can loosen and destabilize handling. The 2014 model year has a fuel pump that can crack and leak fuel during operation, creating a fire risk in the presence of an ignition source. Accessory turn signals on 2010-2017 models can be difficult for other drivers to see, reducing visibility of intended lane changes.

Earlier production has several issues concentrated around the 2012-2013 model years. On 2012 models, connecting rod bolts can loosen at high engine temperatures or speeds, causing catastrophic internal engine failure and an oil spill that can affect handling. The 2012-2013 model years also have side-stand attachment bolts that can loosen until the stand separates from the frame, causing the motorcycle to fall. The 2010-2011 model years share a fuel pump flange recall with other BMW models from that era, where cracks in the flange can leak fuel and create a fire risk.

The 2026 model year has a turn signal reset button that can be triggered simultaneously with the turn signal switch, leaving the signal inoperative and reducing visibility to surrounding traffic.
