The 2020 BMW S 1000 XR has 2 recalls, the most serious being a front brake caliper that can leak fluid while parked, gradually reducing brake fluid levels and weakening braking performance.
A software recall also affects this motorcycle: a dealership software update may have inadvertently turned off the "front wheel lift-off assistant" feature within the Dynamic Pro riding mode without notifying the rider. With that feature silently disabled, the motorcycle can behave unexpectedly during hard acceleration, raising the risk of a crash.
