4 recalls across 3 model years
The BMW C650GT has 4 recalls covering 2011 through 2015 model years, with the most serious being a front brake hose on 2013 models that can crack and leak fluid, reducing or eliminating front braking ability and significantly extending stopping distances.
The 2013 model year also has a timing chain tensioner that can allow chain tension to go slack. This typically announces itself with an audible noise, but if the motorcycle continues to be ridden, the engine can eventually break down and cut power while moving. On 2011 models, the fasteners securing the accessory luggage rack can loosen over time until the rack separates from the scooter, creating a hazard for other road users or bystanders nearby. The 2015 model year has a compliance recall involving the front rim, which is missing required rim type and DOT designation markings.
