- [2018159](/recalls/tc/2018159.md), 2018-04-04: Accessories. Certain tinted windshields sold as accessories through BMW dealerships may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CMVSS\) 205 \- Glazing Materials. The windshields may contain extra tinting in certain areas, which would be contrary to the requirements of the standard and could potentially limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace the tinted windshield with one that meets the standard's requirements.
- [2017428](/recalls/tc/2017428.md), 2017-09-01: Lights And Instruments. Certain motorcycles with dealer installed accessory turn signals may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(CVMSS\) 108 \- Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The size of the lens on the accessory turn signals may be too small, and therefore would not meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following and approaching road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the accessory turn signals with factory indicators that meet the requirements of the standard.
- [2014045](/recalls/tc/2014045.md), 2014-02-18: Electrical. On certain motorcycles, the side stand switch could malfunction.  This could result cause the engine to stall while riding resulting in a loss of motive power, potentially increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.  Correction: Dealers will replace the side stand switch.
- [2013209](/recalls/tc/2013209.md), 2013-06-14: Other. On certain motorcycles, the side stand ignition cut\-off switch could loosen and become damaged.  As a result, the side stand switch would fail to turn OFF the engine if the side stand is extended while a drive gear is engaged.  If the motorcycle is ridden with the side stand in the down position, the stand could hit the ground during a turn, which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.   Correction: Dealers will install bolts to securely fasten the side stand switch \(originally held by a circlip\).
