Safety recall notices and repair campaigns registered for the 2000 BMW F650gs in Canada.
On certain vehicles used under extreme off-road riding conditions, when the rear brake and the throttle are applied simultaneously in low gears, the rear brake caliper support may bend, leading to contact between the brake hose connecting piece on the rear caliper and the swing arm. As a consequence, brake fluid leakage from the caliper could occur, which could ultimately result in loss of rear braking capability. Correction: If the rear caliper support is not bent, it will be reinforced by means of a specially designed plastic block. If the support is found to be bent, the rear swing arm will be replaced by one with a reinforced support. The caliper and brake hose will be replaced if damaged.
A failure of this component (brakes) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
