The 2006 BMW R 1200 GS Adventure has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the rear wheel mounting flange, which can crack and allow the wheel's mounting bolts to loosen until the wheel is no longer secured, causing loss of stability and a crash risk.
The second recall affects the fuel tank's front attachment bolts, which can work loose and contact the front fork leg when the handlebars are turned sharply. If that contact occurs, handlebar movement becomes restricted, reducing the rider's ability to steer and maneuver the motorcycle.
