Service Campaign: 0011510000 Replacing the intake camshaft
S1000RR K67 (OE21/OE23)

Situation: During the production of the intake camshaft, a changed machining coolant occasionally caused localised over heating. The changed surface hardness can result in increased wear of the rocker arms and camshafts over the service life.

Series Solution: Since January 19, 2022, only engines without this fault pattern have been produced.

Service Solution: In all instances in which the vehicles have already been handed over to customers, the customers must be made aware of the situation described above by telephone and asked to have the technical campaign carried out. For vehicles that have not yet been delivered, the service campaign must be carried out before delivery to customers. The intake camshaft must be replaced. Following the removal of the intake camshaft, the rocker arms on the intake side must also be inspected for initial damage and replaced where required.

Since Jan 19 2022... Only these engines have produced correctly with the new intake camshafts?

Would that actually mean that since January of 2018 all K67 engines have a possible bad intake camshaft? That would be an incredible amount of engines made.. Surely they would have caught this issue before Jan 2022. Am I reading that correct?

My 2020 was made April of 2019, and I think I researched by engine was made December of 2018. Then I have for sure researched back to Jan 2018 there was engines produced for the K67 along side of the K46.

Apparently its individual VIN's that are affected rather than across the board. So needs to be checked on a per VIN basis in AIR.

You got to be kidding, one thing after the other. Bmw is asleep at the wheel, might be time to move on

Does anyone know how. many K67 bikes have been sold? Mostly interested in the number in US.

The hopeful amount sold in USA is typically 10000 to 15000... I think 2015 the S1000RR sold 22000 that year.

Lets say this is that same type of issue where there was 3 engine assembly lines in 2019. Remember the engine cases were marked on the back side with 3 mill dots or 2 dots, or one dot. That designated the assembly line the engine when down. I cant remember now, but it is here on the forum that issue of some bolt was too long, or something that indicated an issue and it was identified by the machining marks on the backside of the cases.

Check your VIN # here to see if your a victim of this issue.

Safety and Emission Recalls

mine came back with no recalls, mine is a 2021 s1000RR_M, May 2021 build.

It would be a huge disaster if it was a bunch of bikes. I don’t know if they’re camshafts are produced in house or is that another item that is supplied by outside vendors. very annoying for many people.

See the screen @1:25, same defect code but very different issue than what Benny posted?

Different, thats another recall of many

Updated S1000RR/S1000R Cam Chain Tensioner Screw Plug Info

Right. This information is old hat, and dealers should be aware of it. It is not a secret. The bike comes with a Black screw plug for the cam chain tensioner. The problem is a noisy cam chain at a startup where it rattles pretty loudly. The chain stretches over time, and the tensioner no longer...

That webpage link is totally useless. I've checked that site constantly when word came out about the timing chain tensioner recall. Zero hit on that site. Had my dealer look it up. Bam. My bike is on the recall list. For whatever reason, BMW won't give us NA owners access to see these service campaigns. You'll have to call your dealer for the definitive answer as to whether this recall affects your bike or not.

So what did your dealer say about your intake camshaft?

 

[bennymx]

@zx10guy or you just ask me lol

I haven't had a chance to call my dealer on this. With the crappy weather I've had around me, my bike has been just sitting so no real urgency to get the bike back into the shop if mine is part of the recall.

 

[zx10guy]

@zx10guy or you just ask me lol

You have a PM.

FYI - I'm in US and just checked w/dealer and no open recall on my 2021 RR at this time.

It means that engines produced on Jan the 19th 2022 and after DO NOT have this issue.
