The 2017 BMW R1200 GS Adventure has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the front fork tube, which can separate from the clamp that holds it in place and cause sudden loss of handling and stability.
On the equipment side, motorcycles fitted with the optional aluminum luggage cases may have their rear reflectors partially blocked by the cases, making the motorcycle harder for other drivers to see from behind.
