2008–2009 BMW F 650 GS & 2010 BMW F650 GS recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
BMW is recalling certain 2008 through 2010 F 650 GS motorcycles manufactured from january 11, 2008, through december 8, 2009. A washer may interfere with the front disc brake fasteners' torque. As a result, over time, a fastener or mutiple fasteners could become loose, allowing the brake disc to become loose.
💥 The risk
A loose brake disc may interfere with proper braking performance and may increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
BMW will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on january 13, 2011. 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.)
