Bavarian Motor Works AG (BMW) (Xetra: BMW), a Germany-based automaker, is recalling 2,019 units of the 2009-2010 model year K1300GT and the K1300 S.
The models are being recalled because of poor fuel quality which forms small deposits in the throttle bodies that are likely to cause the engine to stall.
According to The NHTSA, ‘Poor fuel quality may lead to small deposits within the throttle bodies. During engine operation in a low rpm range, typically near idle speed (when coming to a stop) air flow could be sufficiently restricted and engine stalling could occur.’
