BMW C650 GT and BMW C Evolution Scooters Recalled

Since the rim is not marked with the rim size and the DOT designation, a tire of the incorrect size may be installed on this rim, affecting the handling of the scooter and increasing the risk of a crash.

BMW of North America is recalling certain 2017 BMW C650 GT and BMW C Evolution scooters for failing to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, “Wheels and rims-other than passenger cars.” The front rims may not be marked with the required rim type and the DOT designation. The front wheel rim may be missing markings/FMVSS 120. Since the rim is not marked with the rim size and the DOT designation, a tire of the incorrect size may be installed on this rim, affecting the handling of the scooter and increasing the risk of a crash.
