Problem: Bmw is recalling certain 2008 through 2010 f 650 gs motorcycles manufactured from january 11, 2008, through december 8, 2009. A washer may interfere with the front disc brake fasteners' torque. As a result, over time, a fastener or mutiple fasteners could become loose, allowing the brake disc to become loose.

Problem: Bmw is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 f650 gs and f 800 gs motorcycles manufactured from september 27, 2007 through march 30, 2009. The drive chains may not have been produced to specification. As a result, over time the drive chain could break.
Risk: If the broken chain becomes trapped between the rear wheel and the frame, the rear wheel could lock up, possibly resulting in a crash.

Recall 09V-499: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: Bmw is recalling certain model year 2008 through 2010 f650 gs and f800 gs motorcycles manufactured between january 2008 and december 2009. During engine operation, a vacuum is created in order to draw fresh air into the canister. This air then mixes with the fuel vapors captured by the canister, and is subsequently combusted. Due to the routing of the ventilation hose, water near the end of the hose could be drawn into the charcoal canister.
Risk: Water could flow into the canister causing a stalling condition increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and add an additional hose and route it such that the present defect is prevented. This remedy will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on may 13, 2010. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
