The 2023 BMW S 1000 XR has 2 recalls, the most serious involving clutch cover bolts that can work loose and allow oil to leak onto hot engine components, raising the risk of a crash or fire.
A software recall covers motorcycles that received a dealership software update where the "front wheel lift-off assistant" feature within the Dynamic Pro riding mode may have been silently deactivated. Without that system active, the motorcycle can behave unexpectedly during hard acceleration, and the rider has no warning that the handling characteristic has changed.
