  • Exterior Lighting · NHTSA 20V146000

    Dec 3, 2020Exterior Lighting:Brake Lights
    Problem
    BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2020 F900R, F900XR, S1000RR, F750GS, F850GS, F850GS Adventure, R1250GS, R1250GS Adventure, R1250RS, R1250R, RnineT, RnineT Pure and RnineT Scrambler and 2019-2020 S1000R motorcycles.

    Risk
    A flashing brake light can cause confusion to other drivers on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
