Electrical system:ignition
Problem: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 S 1000 RR US, and 2020-2026 S 1000 RR motorcycles. The vibration of the motorcycle may cause an internal component of the ignition lock to fail, which can cause the instrument display, rear lighting, and other systems such as ABS to fail, or cause an engine stall while riding.
Risk: An engine stall or failure of electrical systems such as the instrument display or ABS, increases the risk of a crash.
Fix: The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters were mailed September 18, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 14, 2026.
Exterior lighting:turn signal:switch
Problem: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling one 2026 S 1000 RR motorcycle.

As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, âLamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Risk: Turn signals that fail to activate as intended increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: A dealer will replace the combination switch, free of charge. The motorcycle has not yet been sold and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 20, 2026.
