2007 BMW F650 GS recall: steering
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the clamping blocks and the top fork bridge were not manufactured according to specifications. Consequently, the handlebars might not be held securely in position.
💥 The risk
It is possible for the handlebars to move out of their correct position when the motorcycle is being maneuvered, or when it is being ridden, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the top fork bridge and both clamping blocks on these motorcycles free of charge. The recall began on december 14, 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.)
