EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL:SWITCH
- The defect
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling one 2026 S 1000 RR motorcycle. The turn signal reset button can be unintentionally activated at the same time as the turn signal, resulting in an inoperative turn signal. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Turn signals that fail to activate as intended increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- A dealer will replace the combination switch, free of charge. The motorcycle has not yet been sold and therefore no owner notification letters will be mailed. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 20, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 21 times before this, most recently in February 2026 as 26V064000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V478000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by BMW of North America, LLC with NHTSA on February 26, 2026 as campaign 26V115000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
