BMW R 1300 GS known problems
- Recall: starter relay overheating: On 2024 model R 1300 GS models the starter relay (MOSFET) could overheat because of moisture and create a fire risk. First the relay cover was replaced, and when that proved insufficient, a classic electromechanical relay and new software were fitted to motorcycles delivered up to August 2024 (NHTSA 24V557).
- Recall: water ingress into the right handlebar switch: On the R 1300 GS, GS Adventure, R 12 and R 12 nineT, the right handlebar switch unit could take in water, causing an electrical cut-out and the engine to stall; a recall was started in November 2024 under KBA supervision.
- Recall: accessory side cases and top case: In 2024 a recall was carried out on dealer-accessory Vario side cases for the lid opening/contents falling out, and on certain top case parts; the cases were later collected again, and an improved version arrived in early 2025.
- Service action: play in the hand brake lever: On R 1300 GS/GS Adventure models built up to August 2024, unintended brake pressure could build up through Riding Assistant/FCW when the lever play was small; in January 2025 a service action was announced for about 34,000 motorcycles (not an official recall).
- Hydraulic leak at the Brembo caliper: Motorrad magazine reported cases of hydraulic leakage from the brake caliper, especially on motorcycles left standing for a long time (12 cases in Germany as of March 2025); as of that date there was no recall.
- Recall: eCall emergency call software: On some 2025 model R 1300 GS / GS Adventure models with the optional eCall system, a software fault could disable automatic crash notification (NHTSA 25V480, 33 units in the USA); fixed with a software update.
When buying a used BMW R 1300 GS
- Have the starter relay replacement (electromechanical relay + software) verified in the BMW service record using the chassis number.
- Ask whether the right handlebar switch recall and the hand brake lever play service action have been carried out.
- On a vehicle that has stood for a long time, look for hydraulic traces/wetness on the front brake calipers.
- If original Vario side cases are fitted, check whether they are the improved version or the first version that was collected back.
