Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“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“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“Left hand-side multiswitch failure. Left without horn, turn signals, windshield adjustment etc. Operating any bike without an operational multiswitch to control the functions enumerated above is very dangerous and illegal. Safety check will expire soon and can't pass it without an operating multiswitch. Replacing it by Bmw costs over $700. It seems that Bmw has a long history with faulty multiswitches, both left and right hand side. Bmw should be determined to offer a recall on their multiswitches immediately!”
