In late September, BMW Motorrad North America filed a Safety Recall Report notification with the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding certain 2021 through 2024 R 18 motorcycles.
Very specifically, this recall applies to bikes outfitted with the optional reverse gear. On these bikes, the way they're sealed could break down over time and allow moisture inside the unit, where it shouldn't be. This could, in turn, corrode electrical contacts, result in overheating, and potentially also in a fire hazard.
