What is wrong
Bmw is recalling 1,980 my 2007-2008 f800 s and f800 st motorcycles. Due to the routing of the fuel tank breather hose, pressure equalization inside the fuel tank is possible only to a limited extent. Consequently, at high ambient temperatures, the fuel tank can deform. If this happened at the point where the fuel tank is shaped to provide clearance for the rear wheel, then, in combination with a large payload, the bottom of the tank could rub against the rear wheel.
Risk
If this occurred, it is possible that a leak could develop in the tank. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy
Dealers will reroute the fuel tank breather hose. The recall began during august 2008. Owners may contact bmw at 1‑800‑331‑1117.
