2007–2008 BMW G 650 X US Country & 2007 BMW G 650 X US Challenge + 1 more recall: powertrain & transmission
⚠️ What's wrong
BMW is recalling certain model year 2007 and 2008 G 650 X Country, G 650 X Challenge, and G650 X Moto motorcycles manufactured from november 29, 2006 through may 19, 2008. Over time, the roll gear pin's mounting attachment could break.
💥 The risk
If this occurs, it would be possible for fragments of the attachment to become trapped between the drive chain and the rear sprocket. The rear wheel could lock up, possibly resulting in a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the roll gear pin's mounting attachments free of charge. The safety recall began on august 30, 2010. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.
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.)
