Electrical system: ignition
NHTSA campaign 26V478000 · reported July 23, 2026 · BMW of North America, LLC · 16,736 vehicles potentially affected
The 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.
The risk
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.
