The problem
Bmw is recalling certain 2008 through 2010 f 650 gs motorcycles manufactured from january 11, 2008, through december 8, 2009. A washer may interfere with the front disc brake fasteners' torque. As a result, over time, a fastener or mutiple fasteners could become loose, allowing the brake disc to become loose.
The risk
A loose brake disc may interfere with proper braking performance and may increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Bmw will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on january 13, 2011. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.
