2010 BMW F 800 GS recalls

Recall 09V-499: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Dec 30, 2009 · 4,498 vehicles affected · BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC

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.
