Motorcycle Recall - BMW Motorcycles Recall

NHTSA Campaign ID:  12V556000
Component:  Structure: Body
Manufacturer:  BMW of North America, LLC
Recall Date: 12/03/2012
Potential Number of Units Affected: 266
Defect Summary:
BMW is recalling certain model year 2013 C600 Sport Maxi-Scooters manufactured August 7, 2012, through November 20, 2012. The fasteners on the front side trim panels may have insufficient strength to retain the panels at high speeds.
Consequence Summary:
If the panel separates it could interfere with riding and handling of the scooter and increase the risk of a crash. The panel could also become a hazard for other road users.
Corrective Summary:
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will reattach the left and right front side trim panels with stronger "snap-lock" fasteners. The recall is expected to begin in January 2013. Owners may call BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
