The 2005 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure has 2 recalls, the most serious being a fuel pump defect that can allow fuel to leak near an ignition source and start a fire.
The second recall involves the fuel tank front attachment bolts, which can loosen over time and contact the front fork leg when the handlebars are turned sharply. This limits how far the bars can turn, reducing the rider's ability to maneuver and raising the risk of a crash.
