20247052024-11-19. Engine. Issue: This recall is for certain oil filters sold at BMW Motorrad dealerships as a replacement part for 2008 to 2024 models. This recall affects oil filter part number: 11427721779-04. On certain motorcycles, the oil filter may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, under certain conditions, the filter could loosen and create an oil leak. Safety Risk: An oil leak near the rear tire could affect handling and control of the motorcycle. An oil leak could create a hazard for others. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, oil that leaks onto hot components could create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: BMW Motorrad will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the oil filter.
20210562021-02-09. Fuel System. Issue: On certain motorcycles, the fuel pump flange could crack. If this happens, fuel could leak while the engine is running. Note: This is an expansion of recall 16 002 20 (014) (Transport Canada Recall No. 2020-437). Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump and auxiliary fuel pump (if equipped) with an improved version.
20144852014-10-30. Tires. On certain motorcycles equipped with a Continental ContiSportAttack or ContiSportAttack2 front tire, a separation may develop between the thread, belt and carcass. This could potentially result in rapid air loss and/or tire failure, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace affected tires.
20124282012-12-13. Other. On certain motorcycles, the side stand may have been installed incorrectly during the vehicle assembly process. As a result, the side stand attachment bolts could loosen. This could cause the motorcycle to fall over (while resting on the stand), which could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will remove the side stand mounting plate, clean the components, and reinstall using new fasteners.
20121402012-04-24. Engine. On certain motorcycles, the connecting rod bolts could loosen and separate from the connecting rod. This could cause the rear-wheel to lock-up if the engine fails and seizes creating the risk of a crash. Additionally engine failure may also cause oil to leak in front of the rear tire which may render the vehicle unstable. These issues could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace connecting rod bolts and apply a thread-locking agent to the bolts.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
