BMW recalls 2026 S 1000 RR motorcycle over turn signal that may not work
The turn signal reset button can be pressed by accident at the same time as the turn signal, so the signal may not turn on, which raises the risk of a crash.
What to do
A dealer will replace the combination switch free of charge. The motorcycle has not been sold yet, so no owner letters will be mailed, and its VIN will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 20, 2026.
