What is wrong

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-[removed].
