The 2012 BMW S 1000 RR has 3 recalls, the most serious being connecting rod bolts that can loosen at high engine speeds or temperatures, leading to catastrophic engine failure and oil loss that can make the motorcycle difficult to control.
The fuel system also has a concern: the fuel pump flange can develop cracks and leak fuel, which creates a fire risk if the leak contacts an ignition source. On the structural side, the side-stand attachment bolts can loosen over time until the stand separates from the frame entirely, which can cause the motorcycle to fall over.
