BMW of North America is recalling exactly one (1) 2026 BMW S 1000 RR due to the installation of a faulty turn signal switch on that single motorcycle sold in our market. The issue revolves around a combination switch that is noncompliant and has a toggle that may not have been produced to appropriate specifications by the supplier.
According to BMW NA, this combination switch has a turn signal reset button that could inadvertently be activated at the same time as the turn signal itself, which may mean it gets deactivated right after the rider believes they have activated it. For reasons that are likely pretty clear, this could pose a safety risk to both the rider and the bike that feature this combination turn signal switch. This could, for example, increase the risk of a crash.
BMW's Part 573 Safety Recall Report for this issue states that the only potential warning sign that a rider might notice is that the green turn signal symbols on the dash may turn off immediately after they have illuminated when the rider indicated a turn one way or another. The faulty switch was provided by Sensata Technologies Holland BV, based in the Netherlands. As of the date of this recall, BMW states that it has not received any reports of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
