What happened

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain accessory turn signals installed on specific motorcycle models from 2006 to 2017, including R1200GS, R1200GS Adventure, F700GS, F800GS, F800GT, F800R, F800GS Adventure, S1000R, R1200R, R1200RS, and S1000RR models. The turn signals may not be sufficiently visible to other drivers, which increases the risk of crashes and violates federal safety standards for lighting equipment.

BMW will notify affected owners and replace the turn signals free of charge through authorized dealers. The recall process began on October 25, 2017. Owners of affected motorcycles should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to arrange for the replacement.
