• Recall RM/2007/031 [UK]: Engine performance may be affected
  It has been identified that the use of a faulty tool during engine assembly has led to isolated incidents of damage to the spark plugs. When the engine is in use the insulator of the central electrode may become displaced and contact he ground electrode. Should this occur it will have a detriment effect on engine performance.
  recalled machines will have the suspect spark plugs replaced.

• Recall RM/2013/032 [UK]: Wheel may lock up
  As a result of adverse tolerances at production wear at the rear-wheel bearings can be exceptionally high. The rear wheel can drag if this wear remains unnoticed for a long period of time.
  recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check the bearings and where necessary replace the bearings.

• 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. Correction: dealers will inspect rear wheel bearings and replace with an updated design if necessary.

• 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.

• Recall 2008267 [Canada]: Steering
  On certain motorcycles, it is possible for the coating to separate from the inside face of the steering damper housing. If this happens, the coating could partially clog the oil bores within the damper. Should this occur, the steering damper could become stiff, making it difficult to steer, and therefore could result in a vehicle crash causing personal injuries or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering damper.

• Recall 2007218 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain motorcycles, the spark plugs may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. The insulator on the spark plug could break off and come into contact with the electrode, which could impede engine performance. If the electrode breaks in the course of a lengthy trip with high engine loads, the symptoms may not be immediately perceptible. However, engine damage can result if the rider attempts to continue the journey. Engine damage could result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: dealers will replace the spark plugs.

Fuel leaking from around fuel pump assembly. This appears to be similar to a recall affecting 2005 - 2012 bmw bikes. Nhtsa campaign number: 13v617000.

On march 11, 2017 my motorcycle stalled while i was riding in traffic and never wanted to start again. I pulled over and had to get the bike towed on a truck back home. It became apparent that the electronic fuel control unit had malfunctioned due to the pooling of fuel around it. The fuel pump flange developed some cracks and thus allowed the fuel to leak thru. Cracks can be seen in the attached photos 1, 2, 3, and 4. The leaking fuel pooled on top of the fuel pump flange and eroded the epoxy or plastic filling inside the electronic fuel pump control unit thus caused the unit to fail. The failing electronic unit can cause a spark and start a fire right at the fuel tank which is right below the seat where the rider is sitting. This is an immediate fire hazard. Many bmw motorcycles around the same year was recalled for exactly the same problem (nhtsa campaign number: 13v617000). This recall should be extended to bmw f 800 s models as well. The flange and the fuel pump is manufactured by an italian company called bitron (http://www.Bitron.Net/index.Php?Option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=tag&tag=pump&itemid=142). Bmw does not sell the flange itself but the whole fuel pump assembly for $414.77 which is a costly repair with the labor and tax. Another problem occurred soon after the fuel pump was removed from fuel tank. The beige colored plastic that is covering the fuel pump developed cracks just as it was sitting on the shelf. This cane be seen in attached photo 5.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 bmw f800s motorcycle. The contact stated that he received notification of nhtsa campaign id number: 13v549000 (wheels). The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for repairs per the recall. The vehicle was inspected and the contact was advised that the recall repair was not warranted because there was no sign of wear on the bearing or the axle. The contact believed that the recall remedy was not sufficient to determine if the bearing or axle was worn and wanted the dealer to replace the bearing and axle as a precautionary measure. The manufacturer was contacted and refused to replace either component under the recall. The contact had not experienced a failure. Updated 09-03-14 *bf the consumer stated the recall is an inspection to determine if a failure has occurred not if a failure will occur. The consumer is concerned that the vehicle will become uncontrollable during an extended riding event. This failure has occurred on another motorcycle the consumer owns almost causing a serious accident. The bearing and axle assembly was replaced under recall. Updated 11/18/2014 *js

After refueling to a full tank, fuel visible at top of filler neck, the motorcycle was driven home 1 mile and parked in garage. Went to start the bike the next day and the bike would not start. There was a very strong fuel odor in the garage. I took the seat off and inspected the fuel vent hoses and charcoal canister. There was a visible puddle of fuel on top of the fuel pump, covering all the electrical connections, and on the floor. This is an obvious fire risk so i took it to the dealer. They replaced the fuel pump electronics due to fuel filling the fuel tank pump electronics compartment. I made sure not to fill/overfill the tank with fuel and the bike operated normally for a few months. Then the same scenario occurred on or about 01 jan 2014. This time the dealer found the real problem, the fuel pump flange was cracked and leaking. This seems to be the same problem affecting many other bmw motorcycles that have a recall in place -nhtsa campaign number: 13v617000. I am requesting the scope of the recall be expanded to include 2007 bmw f800s motorcycles also. *tr

Upon decelerating and engaging the clutch as if to stop, the engine will suddenly and completely die. Several minutes and many starting attempts are generally required to restart the engine before it will run again. No obvious series of events forecasts this failure. Bump-starting the engine before coming to a complete stop has, on one occasion, refired the engine and it continued running. On at least one occasion this engine failure occurred while downshifting entering a highway onramp, at which point the engine died, resulting in a potentially very dangerous situation. This loss of power has happened many times and the dealer has investigated the situation and dealt with the issue under warranty twice without identifying or fixing the problem. *tr
