BMW Recalls 2008-2010 F650GS and F800GS Motorcycles to Correct Stalling Condition
BMW is recalling model year 2008, 2009, and 2010 F650GS and F800GS motorcycles manufactured between January 2008 and December 2009.

Due to the routing of the ventilation hose, water near the end of the hose could be drawn into the charcoal canister.
4498 units are affected.
