Wheels
Problem: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 F 800 S and F 800 ST motorcycles manufactured August 2006 through January 2009. Due to incorrect tolerances, the rear wheel drive bearing and rear axle may wear.
Risk: Bearing and axle wear may affect handling and control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wheel bearing, and if necessary, replace the bearing and rear axle, at no charge. The recall began on January 10, 2014. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at [email protected].
Steering
Problem: Bmw is recalling 428 my 2007 f800 s, f800 st, r1200 r, k1200 s, k1200 r, k1200 r sport, and k1200 gt motorcycles. It is possible for the coating to separate from the inside face of the steering damper housing. If this happened, the coating could partially clog the oil bores within the damper.
Risk: If this occurred, the steering damper could become stiff increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the steering damper free of charge. The recall began during september 2008. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: Bmw is recalling 1,980 my 2007-2008 f800 s and f800 st motorcycles. Due to the routing of the fuel tank breather hose, pressure equalization inside the fuel tank is possible only to a limited extent. Consequently, at high ambient temperatures, the fuel tank can deform. If this happened at the point where the fuel tank is shaped to provide clearance for the rear wheel, then, in combination with a large payload, the bottom of the tank could rub against the rear wheel.
Risk: If this occurred, it is possible that a leak could develop in the tank. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will reroute the fuel tank breather hose. The recall began during august 2008. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-331-1117.
