2 recalls across 1 model year
The BMW F850GS has 2 recalls, both affecting the 2019 model year, where connecting rods inside the engine can work loose and disconnect, causing sudden engine failure, loss of drive power, or rear wheel lockup that can lead to a crash.
Both recalls describe the same underlying defect. If the connecting rods separate, the engine can seize or cut power without warning, leaving the rider with no drive to the rear wheel or, in some cases, a sudden rear wheel lock that destabilizes the motorcycle.
