The 2020 BMW S1000 RR has two recalls, the more serious being an oil cooler hose that may not be properly secured, allowing oil to drip onto the rear tire and cause a loss of traction.
The second recall involves the brake light, which can flash rather than stay steady during hard braking. A flashing light can confuse drivers behind the motorcycle about whether the rider is actually stopping, raising the risk of a rear-end collision.
