Bmw recall: Power train
What is wrong
BMW is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2009 f650 gs and f 800 gs motorcycles manufactured from september 27, 2007 through march 30, 2009. The drive chains may not have been produced to specification. As a result, over time the drive chain could break.
What could happen
If the broken chain becomes trapped between the rear wheel and the frame, the rear wheel could lock up, possibly resulting in a crash.
The fix
BMW will notify owners and dealers will replace the drive chain and sprockets on the affected motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on august 30, 2010. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.
