Campaigns on record across the BMW G-650-Gs (2013–2016), from Transport Canada and, tagged NHTSA, the United States. Pick a model year for the Canadian listing, and check your VIN with BMW to confirm which apply.
On certain motorcycles, the engine control unit software which regulates the idle speed may have been incorrectly programmed. As a result, if the clutch lever is engaged, the throttle is closed and the engine is operating at idle, the engine may stall. An engine stall could lead to a loss of stability of the motorcycle, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the engine control unit software. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2015-378. Motorcycles repaired under the previous recall will require re-inspection and repair.
