THE SAFETY RECALL FOR BMW F800 GS #09V499000 ALSO APPLY TO THE F800 ST. I HAD A STALLING ISSUE AND WAS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR 2 MONTHS AGO AND AGAIN THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AT 65MP TWICE (TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE) AND AGAIN AT 35 MPH ON SURFACE STREET AND 25 MPH WHILE PULLING INTO A GAS STATION. IT IS NOW IN FOR IT'S SECOND REPAIR. *TR
RECALL CAMPAIGN 09V471000 MY MOTORCYCLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE NOTED CAMPAIGN. THE MOTORCYCLE STALLED WHILE DOWNSHIFTING AT LOWER RPM LEVELS. I HAD BEEN RIDING THE BIKE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS(65-75 MPH) FOR APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MINUTES AND THEN MOVED ON TO THE CITY STREETS (STOP AND GO AND 30-35 MPH) AND WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES, THE BIKE EXPERIENCED THE STALLING. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FIRST DESCRIBED IT AS CARBON BUILD UP AND THEN NOTED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE BUILD UP ON THE THROTTLE BODIES AND WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO BAD AMERICAN FUEL. THE REMEDY WAS TO REMOVE THE CARBON BUILD UP. *TR
NEAR COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AT 70 MPH. EVENTUALLY STALLS OUT IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL ON RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BEFORE THIS DATE. *TR
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
