BMW service campaign 00 11 60 00 00

BMW filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Dec 30, 2025, received Jan 5, 2026, about the engine — 1 document under this number: MC110125. It names 5 model years (2025–2026). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.

What the bulletin says

Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communication

After a quality inspection it was found that due to improper machining, the right-side chain tensioner screwplug doesn’t meet the specifications over the service life of the motorcycle. As a result, over increased mileage accrued noise and engine damage may occur.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Model years it names

Source: as the manufacturer filed them

Also filed against: 2025 BMW R 1300 GS; 2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure; 2026 BMW R 1300 R; 2026 BMW R 1300 RS; 2026 BMW R 1300 RT.

None of these model years has a page on this site (it covers EPA-certified cars, trucks and SUVs from 2016), so the bulletin is listed here on its own.

A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
