Summary

BMW is recalling 191 of its 2024 model year R 1250RT, K 1600GT, K 1600GTL, and K 1600B motorcycles. A valve within the front suspension strut may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can cause the valve to loosen and the strut to fail. This failure can lead to a sudden loss of vehicle stability and control while riding. BMW dealers will inspect the production dates of the front struts and replace any defective parts for free.

Risk

If the front suspension strut fails while the motorcycle is in motion, the rider may lose stability and control of the vehicle. This defect increases the risk of a crash and potential injury to the rider or others.
