According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects the following motorcycles from BMW's 2020 Motorrad line-up, including:
- BMW F 750 GS

These motorcycles are equipped with an emergency stop signal function that should keep the rear brake light on when braking. However, it has been found in some cases that the light flashes instead of staying on, making the bikes non-compliant with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, NHTSA said. A flashing light could be misinterpreted by some road users, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW is notifying registered owners and dealers will fix the defective brake light, free of charge. This recall began on March 19, 2020.
