BMW to Recall 4,630 R 18 Motorcycles in U.S. Over Possible Reverse Control Unit Overheating

On October 16, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published a recall notice stating that BMW North America will recall 4,630 R 18 series motorcycles from model years 2021 to 2024 equipped with the optional reverse gear function. The seals on the reverse gear control unit may deteriorate, allowing moisture to enter the unit's interior and cause overheating, which increases the risk of fire. (Jiemian)
