- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2026169
- Manufacturer's number: K48 K61
- Reported: 2026\-04\-02
- Component: Electrical
- Notification type: Safety Mfr
- Units potentially affected: 1471

## What is wrong

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.
