I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 BMW F800ST MOTORCYCLE WITH ABS. ON TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES, ON DRY ROADS, THE ABS HAS "FAILED" IN THAT THE MOTORCYCLE FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE FRONT BRAKE. ON THE SECOND INSTANCE IT WAS GOING INTO A GAS STATION WHERE THE REAR SUSPENSION COMPRESSED AND REBOUNDED, EVIDENTLY TELLING THE ABS I WAS ON A SLICK SURFACE AND REDUCING BRAKE PRESSURE AVAILABLE TO THE FRONT BRAKE! THIS INFORMATION IS IN THE OWNERS' MANUAL, THAT COMPRESSION CAN LEAD THE SYSTEM TO BELIEVE IT IS ON A SLICK SURFACE. NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE IF YOU VISIT F800RIDERS.ORG. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THIS IS WORLDWIDE. *TR

Reading this record

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.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
