Recent 2010 BMW K 1300 GT complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 24,000 miles · reported Jul 15, 2019

The vehicle stalls when decelerating to low speed or to a stop. It has happened multiple times and most often when the vehicle is hot after lengthy driving in weather in excess of 90 degrees f. This is a widely recognized problem for this model and year and there has been a recall issued. My vehicle has no open recalls, so I assume it has been recalled for this problem (I AM second owner). Bike has 24000 miles and the problem persists despite presumed recall remedy. This happened to me on interstate, middle lane when traffic slowed...very dangerous.

Exterior Lighting · at 5,238 miles · reported Mar 25, 2014

Left hand-side multiswitch failure. Left without horn, turn signals, windshield adjustment etc. Operating any bike without an operational multiswitch to control the functions enumerated above is very dangerous and illegal. Safety check will expire soon and can't pass it without an operating multiswitch. Replacing it by bmw costs over $700. It seems that bmw has a long history with faulty multiswitches, both left and right hand side. Bmw should be determined to offer a recall on their multiswitches immediately!

Electrical System · at 20,738 miles · reported Mar 13, 2014

Left handle bar multifunction switch is malfunctioning again. This is the second switch on this bike. The right turn signal will not operate and the windshield will not retract. This is an ongoing problem with these bikes. When you expect the turn signal to be operating and it doesn't it can cause an accident. Also when you want the windshield to retract when it is rain streaked and your visibility is blocked, it can also cause an accident.
