Product
Motorcycles - BMW F 650 GS
Brand
BMW (260 alerts)
Type / model
type E8GS
Description
The affected motorcycles were manufactured between May 2007 and 29 August 2008 and have the type-approval number e1*2002/24*0352.
Risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because the reduced torque suffices to release the threaded fasteners securing the front brake disc. At the limits of the range of tolerances the depth of engagement of the threaded fasteners might be insufficient. There is a possibility of threaded fasteners working loose. Under worst-case conditions there is a possibility of the brake disc becoming loose. Consequently, the possibility of safety-critical riding conditions occurring cannot be excluded.
Measures
  • Voluntary corrective actions taken by the manufacturer
