2003 BMW F650 CS recall: wheels
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, due to a manufacturing defect, it is possible that the wheel could develop a crack. Over time, the crack could worsen to the point that the wheel failed and the drive belt derailed.
💥 The risk
This would result in a loss of drive capability at the rear wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the rear drive belt wheel. Owner notification began september 10, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117, option #4.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
