• Recall 2017428 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Certain motorcycles with dealer installed accessory turn signals may not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cvmss) 108 - lighting system and retroreflective devices. The size of the lens on the accessory turn signals may be too small, and therefore would not meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following and approaching road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the accessory turn signals with factory indicators that meet the requirements of the standard.

• Recall 2015101 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain motorcycles, the threaded holes on the rear wheel flange could crack if the wheel bolts are tightened beyond the specified torque limit during servicing. Over time, this could allow the bolts to back out of their threaded holes, causing the rear wheel to become loose. This could result in a loss of stability of the motorcycle, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the aluminum rear wheel flange with a steel flange.

• Recall 2014485 [Canada]: Tires
  On certain motorcycles equipped with a continental contisportattack or contisportattack2 front tire, a separation may develop between the thread, belt and carcass. This could potentially result in rapid air loss and/or tire failure, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace affected tires.

• Recall 2013442 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain motorcycles, cracks could develop in the fuel pump and/or auxiliary fuel pump flange (if equipped). This would result in fuel leaking when the engine is turned on and the fuel system is pressurized. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will inspect the fuel pump flange(s) and install a reinforcing ring or replace the fuel pump(s), as necessary.

• Recall 2010066 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain motorcycles, the switches on the handlebars for both the direction indicator and the emergency engine-off-start functions may fail. If this happens, the directional indicator and/or the emergency engine-off-start functions may not work properly. Improper function of the direction indicators or sudden engine stalling may create the risk of a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the handlebar switches.

• Recall 2010395 [Canada]: Suspension
  On certain motorcycles, due to environmental conditions, the bearings of the link lever attached to the rear strut could be subject to corrosion. This could lead to reduced movement of the link lever. Over time, if the corrosion became significant, restriction of movement of the link lever could occur. This could affect handling of the motorcycle. In an extreme case, this could result in the connecting rod breaking by a bending force, causing the rear wheel to decelerate by contact with the inner fender. This could lead to a crash depending on traffic, road conditions and rider's reactions. Correction: dealers will replace the rear suspension relay lever.

  Show Content

• Recall 2009203 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain motorcycles, vibration, particularly on a long ride at constant high engine rpm and on engine overrun at high rpm, can, under certain circumstances, cause foaming of the brake fluid in the reservoir of the front brakes. This foaming may cause air to enter into the brake system, which can severely diminish the braking efficiency of the front brakes. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will install a screen insert into the front brake fluid reservoir.

• Fuel leak - motorycle investigation # EA13006

  Odi began investigating this issue after owners of model year (my) 2004-2011 r-series bmw motorcycles reported incidents of pressurized fuel leakage from the fuel pump flange.Some owners first became aware of the problem when their pant leg was fuel-soaked.Prior to opening our initial investigation on november 16, 2012, bmw had concluded that the small number of warranty claims and owner reports did not indicate the existence of a safety defect trend.However, during the course of responding to our information requests, bmw re-examined its data and decided to conduct a recall (13v-617) of the subject motorcycles.In conducting recall 13v-617, bmw voluntarily expanded the scope of affected vehicles from odisoriginal scope, my2005-2008 r-series motorcycles, to include the primary and auxiliary fuel pumps on all my 2005-2011 r-series, my 2005-2011 k12&13 models, my 2010-2011 rr models, and the my 2012 k1600 motorcycles.The total number of motorcycles subject to this recalled is 50,184.The 55 reports cited in this investigation can be viewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following complaint identification numbers:10485789,10449393,10521322,10475150,10435325,10493015,10471642, 10448216,10488899,10356156,10433733,10442023,10492342,10435968, 10492961,10504324,10485882,10433013,10453738,10474390,10417320, 10485276,10444876,10508150,10485807,10492118,10491835,10425962, 10430734,10488652,10485274,10493320,10522421,10399423,10443840, 10448325,10490417,10485452,10433589,10467136,10420291,10503806, 10532145,10523763,10523626,10425514,10354202,10437222,10444742, 10454834,10532172,10487624,10435984,10452476, 10485337

This motorcycle was included in the previous nhtsa recall campaign number: 13v617000, for a fuel pump flange failure which would result in a fuel leak and potential fire, and worse. Since the recall, we've had 2 separate situations of fuel leakage while in motion. The first was november 18, 2017, traveling at speed along a straight highway, raw gasoline was smelled by the passenger. Fuel was dripping steadily over the lower engine components. The bike was not safe to return to the road, trucked back home. We were informed the recall had already been satisfied, all risks were ours to assume. We replaced the plastic fuel pump male quick disconnect fitting with a metal unit, as the male unit showed a crack. The second failure was july 16, 2019. Vehicle was in motion, freeway traffic congestion and associated speed for evening commute, straight routes of travel. The smell of gasoline was again detected and raw gas was again observed dripping from the connectors, leaking from between the collar and the female connector. The cracks the recall collar was to address and keep from continuing, appear to have actually continued to develop and increase, leading to potentially life-threatening circumstances. The male and female quick disconnect fittings can be replaced with metal, but these replacements must be threaded into an already compromised setting. The previous recall collar is a failure. This should have been correctly fixed by a redesigned fuel pump replacement using metal quick disconnects, instead of applying what amounts to a band-aid solution. We do not know how much damage or fracturing is continue to occur under the flange 'fix'. But this continued failure is putting the rider at risk for vehicle fire, injury, or even death.

Stalling issue, not safe to drive at all, almost fail when i pass the car, so danger...

Vehicle stalls constantly. Especially dangerous when downshifting and while turning as it can lead to a fall/accident

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 bmw k1300s motorcycle. The contact stated that the left turn signal failed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number 09v384000 (electrical system) but the failure recurred three years later. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage and vin was unavailable. *tr

On august 29, 2013 my continental contisport attack front tire popped while i was riding my 2009 bmw k1300s motorcycle north of dahlonega, ga. I was lucky and did not crash. I was riding at about 40 mph when the tire popped. The center of the tread separated causing the rapid deflation. I had the bike towed on a flat bed to european motorsports inc. And bought a new pirelli rosso 2 tire for $168.33. The flat bed tow cost me $110. The tire was a conti sport attack size 120/70zr17 motorcycle tire. I found out on april 21, 2016 that continental has a recall on this tire for rapid deflation because of tread separation - the recall notice from conti is psib 14-06 dated november 6, 2014. I called continental and talked to janet decandia at 973-471-8890 email = [email protected]. Janet told me i had no recourse because i did not have the tire carcass or the dot serial number. I found the dot serial number from an old picture and on may 19, 2016 i sent her via email all required information proving bike year, model, vin # and proof of current ownership. On may 20, 2016 janet sent me an email telling me "i went thru all your docs as well as checking the bmw website for the oe fitment on your bike, and also the list of vin's we received from bmw that were effected by the recall. Your bike did not have a recalled tire on it. The oe fitment on your bike was our 120/70zr17 sport attack "c", whereas the recalled tire did not have the "c" designation. Also, there were no model year 2009 1300s bikes on the vin list bmw provided to us.". If the sport attack "c" tire that popped was not a part of the conti recall, it should be added to the recall immediately. It is a safety hazard and someone is going to be seriously injured or killed because of that tire's faulty design or manufacture.

I was decelerating and downshifted to 1st gear at 4 mph, i pulled the clutch in and coasted to a stop then the engine stalled. I tried to start button, but there was no catching. I pressed the start button and accelerated the rpm's to 4000 then the bike took off abruptly. One thousand feet later, i was coming to a stop at 5 mph and the engine turned off again. A half mile later i was in first gear into a corner at 5 mph then the engine died. There was no starting with the start button, so i popped the clutch and the engine started and i accelerated. As long as i kept the rpm's high there was no stalling, but if i can to a stop, the engine would die. I was almost rear ended five times today!!!! I almost wrecked in the curve when the engine died. *tr

The bike stalls when you slow down and go to shift into a lower gear. It has done it numerous times and is very dangerous on a motorcycle. This bike was re-sold by bmw after they supposedly fixed the exact same issue. Bmw's fix didn't work, the bike is still stalling. The bike has now been at the dealer for over a month and they can't seem to figure out what the problem is. They just keep replacing random parts to try and correct it. This is a seriously dangerous issue that bmw needs to address correctly or someone is going to get killed. My guess is the mapping unit for the bike isn't mapped correctly and they need to design one that is or can be adjusted properly. *tr

Engine stalls constantly when coming to a stop. Sometimes stalls when just cruising. *tr

Had stalling recall performed in approximately january 2011. Software update has failed to correct the stalling condition. The engine still stalls under a variety of conditions, but especially in stop and go riding. Previous recall has failed to correct the stalling problem. *tr
