Production Date

4/3/2019-12/20/2022 The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0000348800 in AIR. In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this campaign it will be necessary to verify the vehicle VIN in AIR (Aftersales Information Research). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action. Please note, open campaigns or vehicle stops may not appear in DCS Warranty Vehicle Inquiry or sales systems until 24-72 hours after they are announced, therefore AIR is always the recommended method for determining open campaigns and vehicle stops.
SITUATION
S 1000 XR’s (as standard) and S 1000 R’s (with SA224 Riding Modes Pro) provides a customizable riding mode “Dynamic Pro” for the customer. In the factory setting the parameter “front wheel lift-off detection” (Wheelie) is deactivated (“0 = no support”). Customers can personalize this parameter to different levels. After a software update the user configurations in the riding mode “Dynamic Pro” will be reset to the factory setting (“Front wheel lift-off detection” is deactivated). The customer will not be informed automatically about this reset. BMW implemented an execution stop for software updates for the two affected models since Jan 2 2023. The execution stop will be lifted with ISTA version 4.40.3X. This version of ISTA changes the factory setting of the “front wheel lift-off detection” (Wheelie) to be activated and set to the maximum value (3 = maximum stability) after any programming procedure. In new vehicles, the changed factory setting is expected to take effect in August 2023.
PROCEDURE
The recall does not require reworking or another software update.
For motorcycles already retailed, the customer must make a workshop visit for the dealer to inform the customer of the change in the factory settings (i.e. Dynamic Pro riding mode will be reset automatically to the factory setting after a prior visit, and therefore may have to be manually adjusted again to their personalized settings.) An owners manual insert will be provided with the customer letters of the affected motorcycles. NHTSA STATEMENT Please be reminded that it is a violation of federal law (The Safety Act) for you to sell, lease or deliver any new motorcycle covered by this notification until the recall repair has been performed.

Note also that substantial civil penalties apply to violations of the Safety Act. Also, you should not sell, lease or deliver any used motorcycles subject to a safety recall until the repair is completed. Please follow any special instructions that we provide to you for the return or disposition of recall parts.

S 1000 R and S 1000 XR Programming Execution Break
BMW will be announcing a Safety Recall for S 1000 R and XR models that may have been programmed during a dealer visit since 4/3/2019.
A programming stop (execution break) for these models was implemented on Jan 20, 2023, to prevent further issues from potentially occurring.
The solution will be an I-Level update for these models in the coming weeks.
A bulletin is being produced and will be published soon.
If you have a situation where the bike absolutely needs to be programmed, a TSARA case will need to be created for these urgent cases.

In July 2022, BMW became aware of an incident in France involving a 2022 BMW S 1000 XR. It was reported that the rider experienced unexpected handling and control which allegedly contributed to a crash with injury. At that time, preliminary reviews were inconclusive. In September, an incident in Turkey involving a 2021 BMW S 1000 XR was reported with a description similar to the July incident, but without injury. Further reviews were conducted, including motorcycle build configuration information and motorcycle service history records. Field information, including warranty claims, customer complaints, and incident reports, were reviewed. Beginning in October, technical analyses involving various riding scenarios were conducted. Testing was performed with various software configurations and mode settings in an attempt to reproduce the alleged condition reported in the field incidents. In December, an incident in Belgium involving a 2021 BMW S 1000 XR was reported with a description similar to the prior incidents, but without injury. Further analyses were performed which determined that a specific software package released to dealers could inadvertently reset the front wheel lift-off assistant to the factory setting mode unknown to the rider. Motorcycle assembly information and production system records were used to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected motorcycles. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-051

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573

Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by First Class mail and informed that the user
parameters of the riding mode “Dynamic Pro” have been reset to the factory setting during a previous software update at a dealer. They will be requested to check the configuration settings in the riding mode “Dynamic Pro” and to adjust the settings as needed. Owners will also be instructed to visit an authorized BMW motorcycle dealer so that the dealer can inspect the motorcycle, and the motorcycle service records can be appropriately updated. If this condition were to occur to a potentially affected motorcycle prior to this recall, the remedy would be covered by the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program.
