3 recalls across 3 model years
The BMW F700GS has 3 recalls covering 2011 through 2013 model years, with the most serious affecting 2011 models where the side stand ignition cut-off switch can loosen and fail to shut the engine off when the side stand is extended with a gear engaged, leaving the motorcycle able to lurch forward.
On 2013 models, the side stand switch can malfunction in a different way, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while riding and cutting drive power mid-travel. The 2012 model year has a compliance recall tied to tinted windshields sold as dealer accessories: the tinting in certain areas can exceed allowable limits and reduce forward visibility, raising the risk of a crash.
