3 recalls across 3 model years
The BMW F700GS has 3 recalls covering the 2011-2013 model years, with the most serious affecting 2011 models where the side stand ignition cut-off switch can loosen and fail to shut off the engine when the side stand is deployed with a gear engaged, a condition that can cause the motorcycle 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 leaving the rider without drive power. The 2012 model year has a compliance recall covering tinted windshields sold as dealer accessories: certain units carry extra tinting in areas where visibility must meet Canadian safety standards, which can reduce the rider's forward sightlines and raise the risk of a crash.
