• Recall 75960 [USA]: 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.
  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.
  dealers will reroute the fuel tank breather hose. The recall began during august 2008. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-331-1117.
  customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov.

Fuel leaking from around fuel pump assembly resulted in electronic fuel pump module being soaked in fuel which caused catastrophic failure of the fuel pump assy and potential fire hazard. This appears to be similar to a recall affecting 2005 - 2012 bmw bikes. Nhtsa campaign number: 13v617000. *tr

The motor on my 2007 bmw f800s started knocking in the spring of 2011. This is approx 6 months after the warranty expired. I brought the bike in to the dealer. They told me it was fine. This process was repeated two more times. Finally the engine was removed and diagnosed. The dealer found complete piston failure (piston slap). The piston skirt was grinding into the cylinder wall. Both the pistons and barrels need to be replaced. The cost of the repair is more than the value of the bike. Based on visual evidence of the damage i have found at least one engineer that stated it clearly started happening while the vehicle was under warranty. The vehicle only has 16000 miles on it. This is a total engine failure. I have found dozens of others that own the same vehicle and model year that have had the same failure. I feel bmw is trying to avoid doing the correct thing by not recalling the engine parts. Bmw told me the bike is out of warranty and i am responsible for the repairs. *tr

I am writing you to please urge investigation of all bmw f800s and f800st motorcycles. I have been researching a problem with these motorcycles since i purchased my 2007 f800s for the first time in june of 2009. Soon after i purchased the motorcycle, my rear wheel bearing failed causing a severe wobble. The dealer replaced the bearing and eccentric axle which they say was "improved" with a harder steel in the axle. Fast forward just over a year later (12/2/10) my rear wheel bearing failed again. I took it back to the same exact dealer and they have not made any other improvements to the design since my last time there. There are countless of documents that show these are failing for riders all around the u.S. With these motorcycles and bmw clearly states that it is not a design flaw on their part and has been refusing any financial responsibility for the problem to its owners. Please help. *tr

Bmw motorcycle: engine stalling, dying, at idle or during slow gear change, downshift, after engine is fully warmed up, ongoing problem even after dealer tried to fix. Several similar reports on bmw riders forum. Causes unsafe operation if stalling on turn, or at intersection. Have been able to avoid crash and get off highway so far. Continues to stall intermittently. No apparent rhyme or reason, but always after bike has been running for several minutes, fully warmed up. Will always re-start but will die again of not held above idle. Very tricky after stop at intersection or on a turn. Dealer has tried replacing breather hoses and updating programming. Did not replace fuel pump, which some people on web have recommended. Problem has persisted, happens every time motorcycle is operated 20+ minutes. *tr

Sporadic engine stall while downshifting at both high and low speeds. Common complaint, but no recall issued. Engine stalls while in motion, could lead to serious injury or death. *tr
