2026 BMW F800gs - Electrical

BMW is recalling 18 motorcycles from its 2026 model lineup (including F800GS, F900 R, S1000R, S1000RR, F900 XR, F900 GS, and R1300 RS) because the left combination switch may be defective, causing the turn signals to fail. Non-functioning turn signals could make it difficult for other drivers to see when the motorcycle is turning or changing lanes, increasing crash risk. None of these motorcycles have been delivered to customers yet, and BMW dealers will replace the switch before delivery.
