BMW of North America is recalling 33 motorcycles from the 2025 model year because the optional emergency call (eCall) system may have been deactivated. Affected models include the F 900 GS, F 800 GS, R 1300 GS, R 1300 GS Adventure, S 1000 RR, S 1000 R, and K 1600 GT. The deactivation is caused by a software programming error within the electronic control unit, which can be fixed with a free software update provided over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer.
In the event of a crash, the eCall system may fail to automatically notify first responders or provide the rider's emergency location. This delay in emergency response increases the risk of serious injury or death following an accident.
Electronic control unit software update
33 units affected across all models listed.
