## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [26V214000](/recalls/nhtsa/26V214000.md), 2026-04-02: POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SEALS/GASKETS. BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2017\-2025 K 1600 GT, GTL, B and 2018\-2025 Grand America vehicles. The seal for the reverse gear control unit may deteriorate and allow moisture inside the control unit, which can result in the unit overheating.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2026169](/recalls/tc/2026169.md), 2026-04-02: Electrical. Issue: On certain motorcycles, the reverse gear control unit may not have been sealed properly. As a result, water could enter the control unit and cause it to corrode. If this happens, the control unit could short circuit and overheat. This could also cause the turn signals and reverse function not to work.  Safety Risk: A short circuit can create the risk of a fire. Turn signals that don't work may cause a person not to recognize when the rider intends to turn or change lanes and could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: BMW Motorrad will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to replace the reverse gear control unit.
