Defect Summary:
BMW is recalling 373 model year 2008 F650 GS motorcycles. Due to production and assembly tolerances, the length of one or more of the front brake disc fasteners may be insufficient. If the length of a fastener was insufficient, this could result in the fastener not being tightened according to specifications.
Consequence Summary:
If this happened, the fastener could work loose from its threads. In some cases involving multiple fasteners, the brake disc could loosen, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Dealers will remove the brake disc fasteners and replace them with new longer fasteners. The recall is expected to begin during January 2009. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
