ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The ignition lock in your motorcycle is a critical system that helps control the engine, lights, and brakes. In some 2024-2026 S 1000 RR models, the vibrations from the bike's motion can cause the ignition lock's internal parts to wear out and fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ignition lock fails, your engine could stall, or critical systems like your ABS brakes or instrument display could shut down while you're riding. This could lead to a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will perform a repair once the fix is developed. You'll be notified by mail when the remedy is available, and you'll get a second letter with instructions on how to schedule the repair. In the meantime, you can reach out to BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.
