How to check if your BMW R 18 Transcontinental has a recall

A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every BMW R 18 Transcontinental on the road. To see whether yours is affected:

  1. Look up your VIN or registration on the official recall checker for the country where the car is registered: EU Safety Gate (Netherlands), Traficom (Finland), MLIT (Japan), NHTSA (United States).
  2. Ask an authorised BMW dealer: recall repairs are free, including on used cars and cars serviced elsewhere.
  3. Add the car to your watched vehicles on Recaller Book and get an email when a new campaign is published for it.
