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

- [2024705](/recalls/tc/2024705.md), 2024-11-19: 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.
- [2023042](/recalls/tc/2023042.md), 2023-02-03: Other. Issue: On certain motorcycles, the "Dynamic Pro" riding mode settings were reset to the factory settings after a software update. As a result, the front wheel lift\-off assistant was switched off/deactivated. A rider who doesn't know that the settings have reset could experience an unexpected change in handling and control.  Safety Risk: An unexpected change in handling and control could increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: BMW Motorrad will notify owners by mail and advise you to check and adjust the settings in the "Dynamic Pro" riding mode. They will also advise you to take your motorcycle to a dealership for an inspection and to update the service records.
- [2020570](/recalls/tc/2020570.md), 2020-11-24: Brakes. Issue: On certain motorcycles, the front brake calipers may leak a small amount of brake fluid when parked. Over a long time, this could empty the fluid reservoir. If this happens, the motorcycle will have reduced brake performance. This problem may result in brake fluid on the front tire or wheel, and on the ground after the motorcycle has been parked for an extended period. The owner's manual has information for how to check the brake fluid level before riding. Note: This recall replaces BMW recall 34 003 20 \(008\) \(Transport Canada recall 2020\-377\). Motorcycles that were repaired under that recall also require this repair.  Safety Risk: Reduced front brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.  Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to inspect the front brakes. The calipers will be replaced, if necessary.
