The scooters' front brake hoses may kink and crack
of ConsumerAffairs
BMW of North America is recalling 1,953 model year 2013-2015 C 600 Sport scooters manufactured August 2, 2012, to March 31, 2014, and C 650 GT scooters manufactured July 30, 2012, to May 29, 2015.
The scooters' front brake hoses may kink and crack after the handlebars are repeatedly turned to the full left position.
A cracked front brake hose would leak brake fluid, reducing braking performance, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. The rear brake remains fully operational.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake hose with one with a more flexible hose covering, free of charge. Parts are not currently available to remedy the scooters, but owners will be mailed an interim notification beginning December 28, 2015. A second notice will be sent when remedy parts are available.
Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
