On February 29, 2024, BMW North America submitted a safety recall report to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding certain 2024 R 1250 RTs and K 1600 GT, GTL, and B bikes.
On bikes produced within a certain date range, the Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) front spring strut that came from a supplier to BMW may not meet BMW's specifications. As a result, the proportional valve may come unscrewed over the life of the strut, thus rendering its damping function nonexistent. Riding stability, particularly at higher speeds, may be negatively affected, which could increase the risk of a crash.
