Recall 26V47800016,736 vehiclesopened after NHTSA action (ODI)

Problem: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 S 1000 RR US, and 2020-2026 S 1000 RR motorcycles. 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.
Risk: An engine stall or failure of electrical systems such as the instrument display or ABS, increases the risk of a crash.
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.gov beginning September 14, 2026.

Engine1 injury
This motorcycle has had a history of stalling while riding, this issue has persisted through two "repairs" that the dealership deemed safe. It stalled on the way back from retrieving the motorcycle from the supposed repair and put me in a life threatening scenario when the motorcycle stalled in traffic in front of a diesel in a construction zone without any available shoulders. The error that displays on the motorcycle is a yellow "Fault in engine" error that forces me hold in the clutch to turn off the motorcycle, go to first gear, turn the motorcycle back on start the engine then immediately give the motorcycle throttle. Doing so all while rolling to a stop in the middle of highway…

The bike surges at about 6,000 rpm. Have had it to dealer 5 times total and they canât find issue. Iâve offered to take bike to a dyno so I can reproduce issue. But Mark Pechko from Bmw North America wonât let dealers do that. Causes hand slipping on throttle. Attached is link to TikTok where I preform issue over and over in a safe manner and with in the law. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRToHTKV/

Engine
Bike was serviced at Bmw Temecula and the dealer found a valve keep on magnet plug. Engine was âcheckedâ to and all valve keepers were supposedly in place. So that means extra valve keeper was a manufacturer error. This could have locked up engine and killed me. Have asked for assistance from Bmw but have been shut down by them.

Engine
Took new bike to dealer. A âextraâ valve keeper was found in oil. Dealer tore engine apart and found all valve keeps in place. If the extra part in engine woulda cause engine to fail at Highway speeds dead coulda happened. Iâve called bam corporate and the case manager has not called me back. I canât get beyond âcustomer serviceâ
