BMW of North America is recalling certain 2020 through 2026 S 1000 RR motorcycles due to a potential issue with the ignition lock units installed in these motorcycles from the factory. Because these locks "may not have been designed with sufficient robustness for use under certain conditions," according to BMW, electrical contact issues within the ignition lock may occur due to premature wear.
This could, in turn, cause intermittent and unexpected stalling of the motorcycle, which could happen when you're standing still or when you're riding, with no warning. In addition to unexpected stalling, other symptoms of this issue could include the instrument display not displaying properly, lights and indicators not working properly, and/or electronic rider aids like ABS not working properly.
