3 recalls across 4 model years
Recalls 2 and 3 describe the same underlying defect (ECU idle software on 2013 models) filed separately. I'll treat them as one issue. Recall 1 is the broadest and most severe, covering 2013–2016 and the Sertao trim through 2015.

The BMW G650GS has 3 recalls covering 2013–2016 model years, with the most serious being an engine control unit software defect on 2013–2016 models where the engine can stall without warning during operation, raising the risk of a crash.
The 2013 model year has a related but narrower version of the same underlying issue: the ECU software that regulates idle speed can be incorrectly programmed, causing the engine to stall when the clutch lever is pulled in and the throttle is closed at idle. The 2013–2015 Sertao trim is also covered under the broader 2013–2016 filing.
