Overview

2025 BMW F 900 GS

The 2025 BMW F 900 GS enters the used market with a mixed reliability picture. While it boasts no reported consumer complaints to NHTSA, a single recall campaign (25V480000) has been issued for a software defect that could disable the optional emergency call system (eCall). This system's failure, though correctable via an over-the-air or dealer update, represents a significant safety communication risk. The vehicle's overall safety ratings are not yet available. Fuel economy data is also unavailable for this model year. The LLM reliability score is 6.5 out of 10, with a confidence of 0.4, leading to an 'Average' verdict based on limited data and the critical nature of the recall.

Critical Failure Risk

A software defect can deactivate the optional emergency call (eCall) system. This prevents automatic crash notification, potentially delaying emergency services.

Early detection can help you avoid a $0-$100 repair.
