BMW F 800 GS Recalls

The BMW F 800 GS has 4 recalls covering the 2008-2010 model years, the most serious being a drive chain defect on 2008-2009 models where the chain can break and become wedged between the rear wheel and frame, locking the rear wheel and causing a crash. A separate 2009-only recall covers the rear axle shaft, where insufficient wall thickness can cause the shaft to deform and fracture, also raising the risk of a crash. On 2008 models, the chain sprocket fasteners can work loose from the sprocket, creating a similar loss-of-drive hazard. On 2010 models, water can enter the evaporative emissions canister through the fresh air line, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while riding.
