Concern

Front suspension linkage/possible handlebar cracking

Defect, as DVSA words it

A. The nut securing the front suspension telelever joint may under extreme circumstances become loose for RS and GS models B. Handlebar cracking may occur on high mileage R1100RS SE (Ergonomic) version machines.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

A. Replace the telelever joint nut with an improved version incorporating a self locking adhesive. B. On affected R1100RS SE machines replace the original handlebars with an improved version.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
