If you had your sights set on the all-new 2023 BMW S 1000 RR, you might be waiting a bit before she rolls in – and it’s all the fault of an optional brake lever pin.*

The old brake lever pin apparently didn’t do its job, with coverage recorded by The Brake Report telling us that NHTSA recalled 394 units of BMW’s 2023 S 1000 RRs, due to the following:*

“In certain riding conditions, a reduction in brake pressure could occur, affect braking performance, lead to a longer stopping distance, and may increase the risk of a crash” (via The Brake Report).

With BMW motorcycle dealers given the heads-up at the end of February, owners of the relevant 2023 S 1000 RRs will be notified by April 18th; spread the word, stay safe, and hit up BMW’s hotline if you have any questions.
