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
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
