The 2013 BMW F800 GS has two recalls, the more serious being a side-stand switch that can fail and allow the engine to run with the kickstand down, raising the risk of a crash when pulling away.
The second recall affects bikes equipped with optional aluminum luggage cases: the cases can partially block the rear reflectors, making the motorcycle less visible to drivers behind it.
