BMW of North America is recalling 1,582 of its 2024 R 1300 GS motorcycles because the starter motor relay housing may have been manufactured incorrectly. This defect can lead to a damaged relay that overheats, creating a dangerous condition for riders. BMW dealers will replace the faulty starter relay and perform a software update on affected motorcycles at no cost to owners.
An incorrectly manufactured housing can cause the electrical starter relay to damage itself and overheat. This significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire, which could occur while the motorcycle is in use or parked.
