Example complaints

Electrical system: “My switches, right&left, both failed for the 2nd time in about 3 years. My right side switch failed while I was riding my bike, causing its stalling! So above and beyond the switch issues, the stalling issue is the most annoying as that can directly effect your safety. I think a couple k1300s drivers have reported crashes because of it. That is certainly nothing to be downplayed. You know why reports are coming out now that Bmw is finally looking into the problem? …”

NHTSA complaint #10575388, filed 2014-03, 36,000 miles

Fuel system: “The vehicle stalls when decelerating to low speed or to a stop. It has happened multiple times and most often when the vehicle is hot after lengthy driving in weather in excess of 90 degrees f. This is a widely recognized problem for this model and year and there has been a recall issued. My vehicle has no open recalls, so I assume it has been recalled for this problem (I am second owner). Bike has 24000 miles and the problem persists despite presumed recall remedy. This happened to me on interstate, middle lane when traffic slowed...very dangerous.”

NHTSA complaint #11231974, filed 2019-07, 24,000 miles

Exterior lighting: “Appalled to discover that even the reputable Bmw no longer stands behind its products! About 3 years after the initial purchase (brand new) from an authorized Bmw dealer, rode my Bmw for the 1st time, on a rainy day. The next day, before leaving my garage(I always parked this bike in a covered garage) I noticed that the right turn signal was not functioning. The 4 way signal/hazard was ok though. One week later, while riding it for the 2nd time in rain, I've noticed that there was no response from the horn, left & right turn signals, electrical windshield, cruise ctrl. …”

NHTSA complaint #10564277, filed 2014-02, 6,500 miles

Brakes: “The brakes at the rear wheel locked up. Fortunately I was not traveling at speed but had stopped to get gas. It was at the pump that I discovered that the brake had locked up. The vehicle has been in the shop for six weeks and that to me is an indication that the problem has not been sufficiently reported. At the pump I came to a complete stop and I overshot a little bit. A very little and I could have filled the tank at the place. But none the less I think I'll back up a little to get closer to the pump. It was at this point that I could not move the bike. …”
