So I checked my VIN here
https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/service/recall-lookup.html
and my bike does show as needing this recall, my build date is 8/2021 one of the first 2022 models.

I called my local dealer and they confirmed the recall is needed but they don't expect BMW Germany to have the parts until March 2023 i.e. the replacement parts are not even listed currently.

So I guess this recall is something they have found but have yet to figure out how they roll out the parts needed and steps to fix to dealer network.

Just put in my VIN and it showed the same service campaign needed on my bike. Sigh. Doesn't show the timing chain tensioner recall on my bike so I guess it gets pulled down when a recall is completed.

Also, it's a bit ridiculous we have to go to a UK webpage to check on recall information on a US sold bike. Why doesn't the US webpage show this information?

Glad someone found the UK recall info page. Great, I brought 2 2022 S1000RR

One was made 12/03/21 and shows needs the intake camshaft recall.
The other was made 08/20/21 and shows needs the intake camshaft recall.

However, my 2020 and 2021 S1000RR do not need the camshaft recall.

Something happen in 2021 because my early 2021 was made 11/02/2020 and it does not have the camshaft recall.

Guess I will be buying a intake camshaft off ebay and changing it out on a motor with only 2200 miles. Then my other 2022 only has 1600 miles on it.

It was a lubrication problem within the machining process. Can cause excessive wear to rocker arm and cam shaft lobe.

Well, the UK site says I need recall for the oil cooler guard when I never bought or had BMW install an oil cooler guard with bike."Enhancement code INFO773190

Just got off the phone with my dealer. Yep, my bike has the recall. Funny thing is I'm the first that has called in about this as the SA said she didn't even know about this recall. And can also confirm that there are no parts available to order to correct this problem. I asked if it's still safe to ride the bike or if there are any conditions I should avoid such as running the engine above a certain RPM. She didn't see any specific info on this but said there isn't a notation about a stop ride order listed in the recall info. She did suggest I call BMW NA to get their take on it.

when was your bike built?

11/21 MY 2022

11/21 MY 2022

Same build date as my 2022.. I even have a 2022 built in Aug of 2021 and it is on the camshaft recall list.

Sucks. I'm happy BMW is being proactive. But this is the second recall in less than a year of owning my bike with these recalls literally only about 3 months apart from each other. After talking to my dealer, I decided the RR is done until I get it in for the recall work. Threw on the front triple tree stand and have the bike propped up in the air for now.

 

[Brotaytoechip]

Just checked mine. Called the dealer and confirmed. Aug 21 build - 2022 bike. They said to call them back in early March to see if parts are available. They were a little shocked. Haha

 

[BMW_388]

Pitiful that there was a machining issue on the 22's that started build process in Aug of 2021 and this issue continued up to January 2022. That has got to be couple thousand of recall head work. Its not difficult head work so I will buy 2 M1000RR intake camshafts and put those in my 22 bikes. I am actually not going to worry about it either until about 8000 miles on the engines. I am reading the recall data that high RPM's are involved once again like the recall on the tensioner spring issue. 10000 plus RPM at sustained for 1 hour causes the spring to break.. well my guess is in that testing they came across the camshaft issue so again, 10000 plus RPM at sustained 1 hour is pretty rare except in endurance racing. That is really where this issue would show up.

FYI. My dealer just informed me they have the necessary part to do the recall. Won't know if anything extra will need to be done depending on what they find when they tear into the motor. Was told to allocate 5 days for the repair as a just in case. I'm scheduled to have my bike worked on next Wednesday.

Also as an FYI, I called BMW Roadside as a suggestion from the dealer service writer to see if they'll cover having the bike towed to them. And to my surprise, BMW Roadside agreed to pick up the bike under coverage. I also found out I'm entitled to an Uber for up to 90 miles that can be split between two separate rides within 5 days of the tow pickup. So if the bike gets done soon enough, I'll have a covered ride out to the dealer to get my bike.

Yes, but most likely they send a flatbed truck to tow it, not something I would wanna do.

We'll see. Service writer said if the tow truck comes with no wheel chock to refuse the towing and to contact Roadside again to request a different tow company.

Strange they don't authorize or reimburse the dealer to pick it up?

Right and the dealers have the proper vehicles to do it correctly

 

[Windyrun]

This is how my bike was towed to dealer when the clutch cable snapped when pulling away from a stop sign. The dealer got warranty approval to repair and send their tow truck (with chock) to retrieve my bike and arrange uber for me. Fast response too I might add Went from broken down at roadside to on my way home with repaired bike in one afternoon! Bob's BMW for the win on that one.

How long did it take for them to get parts? Did you leave your bike there the whole time? My dealer won’t order until I leave the bike there and they’re telling me that it may be 45 days…. Crazy

I was the first to call in about the recall and actually made them aware of the recall. So I was placed on the list to contact when they get parts to do the recall. Obviously I was the first on the list. I was told BMW was not allowing the parts to be ordered till March 1st. I got a call March 2nd that they have the part and to schedule my bike in for service. My bike goes in to have the recall done next Tuesday but they won't get to it till next Wednesday.
