BMW Motorrad Canada is recalling 125 BMW F700GS and F800GS motorcycles from the 2011-2013 model years.

In some cases, the side stand ignition cut-off switch could loosen and become damaged. As a result, the cut-off switch would fail to turn off the engine if the side stand is accidentally deployed while riding. Obviously, this could affect handling and even lead to a crash.

BMW dealers will therefore install bolts to securely fasten the side stand switch (originally held by a circlip).
