Defect Summary:
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2017 BMW C650 GT and BMW C Evolution scooters for failing
to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and rims-other than passenger cars." The front
rims may not be marked with the required rim type and the DOT designation.

on this rim, affecting the handling of the scooter and increasing the risk of a crash.

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace any rims that are not correctly marked, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin September 15, 2017. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
