NHTSA recall 26V478000
Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: An engine stall or failure of electrical systems such as the instrument display or ABS, increases the risk of a crash.
The 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.
