What’s the problem?
BMW of North America (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2013 F700 GS and F800 GS motorcycles manufactured June 1, 2012, through October 18, 2012.

BMW will notify owners and dealers will secure the side-stand switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
