BMW of North America is recalling 18,534 motorcycles including certain 2019-2023 R1250GS, R1250GS Adventure, and R1250RTP models. The gearbox input shaft in these motorcycles can become damaged or break under specific riding conditions, which can lead to the rear wheel suddenly locking up. BMW dealers will resolve this issue by updating the engine control unit software free of charge.
If the gearbox input shaft breaks while riding, it can cause the rear wheel to block or seize. This sudden loss of wheel movement significantly increases the risk of a crash and potential injury to the rider.
