• Recall 75957 [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.

• Recall 2017428 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Certain motorcycles with dealer installed accessory turn signals may not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cvmss) 108 - lighting system and retroreflective devices. The size of the lens on the accessory turn signals may be too small, and therefore would not meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following and approaching road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the accessory turn signals with factory indicators that meet the requirements of the standard.

• Recall 2013380 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain motorcycles, the rear wheel bearing could wear abnormally, which would cause play in the rear wheel assembly. This could be noticed though an abnormal noise or harshness during riding. In some cases, rear wheel speed could be reduced at low speeds while coasting (when clutch is depressed), potentially affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

• Recall 2008084 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain motorcycles, the fuel tank breather hose may have been installed incorrectly, causing it to be pinched between the frame and other neighboring components. In high ambient temperatures, the pressure inside the fuel tank could build-up, resulting in the bulging of the tank near the rear tire. Severe suspension compression, with a high payload, can cause the bottom of the tank to rub against the rear wheel, potentially resulting in a fuel leak. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Also, the rear wheel could lose traction as a result of fuel spillage, which could cause a vehicle crash with personal injuries or death. Correction: dealers will reroute the fuel breather.
