2025 BMW S 1000 Rr recalls & complaints

1. Communication

What's wrong, in plain English: A vehicle part that may fail. The emergency call system (eCall) may have been deactivated due to a software programming error.

What could happen: In an emergency, first responders may not receive notification of the crash or emergency location, increasing the risk of injury to riders.

The fix: The electronic control unit software will be updated over-the-air (OTA) or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed September 12, 2025. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

What to do

1. Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2025 S 1000 RR.
2. Book a repair at any authorized BMW dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 25V480000.
3. The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
4. Manufacturer hotline: 1-800-525-7417.
5. Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.

2. Electrical system — fix not yet available

What's wrong, in plain English: Wiring, modules, batteries. Short circuits can cause stalls or fires. The vibration of the motorcycle may cause an internal component of the ignition lock to fail, which can cause the instrument display, rear lighting, and other systems such as ABS to fail, or cause an engine stall while riding.

What could happen: An engine stall or failure of electrical systems such as the instrument display or ABS, increases the risk of a crash.

The fix: The remedy is currently under development. Owner notification letters were mailed September 18, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.go…
