BMW Recalls 2026 S 1000 RR Motorcycle Over Turn Signal Failure

What Happened

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling one 2026 S 1000 RR motorcycle. The turn signal reset button can be unintentionally activated at the same time as the turn signal, resulting in an inoperative turn signal. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves a single unit:

• Make/Model: BMW S 1000 RR
• Model Year: 2026
• Total Affected: 1 unit
• NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V115000

What You Should Do

BMW has indicated that the motorcycle has not yet been sold; consequently, no owner notification letters will be mailed. A dealer will replace the combination switch free of charge. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) involved in this recall will be searchable on the NHTSA.gov website starting April 20, 2026.

Why This Matters

Turn signals that fail to activate as intended increase the risk of a crash by reducing the rider’s ability to signal their intentions to other drivers.
