Recall: BMW C600 Sport Scooters

Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

BMW Motorrad is recalling 1,953 units of its BMW C600 Sport scooters, model years 2013-2015, according to a filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall comes about as the BMW C600 Sport’s front brake hoses may kink or crack when turning the handlebars to the full left position repeatedly.

As is logical to deduce, a kink or crack in the brake hoses could lead to a loss of brake fluid and/or braking ability, which in turn could pose a safety concern for an operator.

Accordingly, BMW Motorrad will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the front brake hose with one that has a more flexible covering, free of charge.

BMW Motorrad says that parts to fix the issue are not currently available, but affected owners will still be mailed an interim notification beginning December 28th, 2015. A second notice will be sent when the necessary parts to fix the issue are available.

Concerned BMW C600 Sport owners can contact BMW Motorrad about this issue at 1-800-525-7417. As always, the NHTSA is also available at 1-888-327-4236 and safercar.gov.
