2007 BMW G650X Challenge & 2007 BMW G650X Country + 1 more recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, a left-side chain tensioner has been incorrectly installed on the right side. As a result, a hex nut, which is used to secure the chain tensioner, is improperly seated against the tensioner.
💥 The risk
Loosening of the chain tensioner and the rear wheel axle may occur. This could lead to a condition in which the motorcycle is unstable, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a new right side chain tensioner free of charge. The recall began on november 13, 2007. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
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.)
