BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2013-2018 BMW C600 Sport and C650 Sport and 2013-2019 C650 GT scooters. Repeated turning of the handlebars to the left most position may cause the front brake hose to crack and leak over time.

Manufacturer remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake hose, adding an additional protective sleeve that will cover the hose connection fitting, free of charge. The recall began August 6, 2019.

Incident: August 23, 2023 · Filed: November 19, 2023

On 08/23/2023, the scooter (2016 BMW C650 Sport) had no signs of issue when I rode it to my work place in the morning. But when I went back home around 11:45AM, the scooter lost power after 100 ~ 200 feet from my work place. I immediately pulled over and turned off the engine. After that, I could not turn on the engine and there was only noise coming from the engine. On 08/24/2023, the local dealer (San Jose BMW Motorcycles) called me and said that the scooter's engine is broken due to a broken piece from timing-chain tensioner damaging the valve and the piston of the engine. There is a recall for timing-chain tensioner (Recall 14V-264) on 2014 for 2012-2014 C600 Sport and C650 GT. From my case, it looks like BMW did not fix the timing-chain tensioner issue. It still happened to my scooter. Luckily I am not on the highway. After talk to BMW, they refused to take full responsibility. I would like NHTSA to investigate on this and prevent other BMW C650 Sport/GT biker to risk their life for facing the same issue.
