BMW Motorrad C600 Sport: Braking Performance May Be Affected

BMW Motorrad C600 Sport Recall Summary BMW Motorrad is recalling 281 C600 Sport scooters sold in the United Kingdom because the front brake hose may not bend properly due to its chafe guard position, potentially causing the hose to wear through and leak. A leaking brake hose will reduce braking performance and increase stopping distance. Affected owners will have the front brake hose replaced.

Product
Vehicles: BMW MOTORRAD C600 SPORT. Units affected: 281
Reason
The front brake hose may not have sufficient flexibility due to the position of the chafe guard. This may lead to chafing and eventually leakage of the brake hose. If leakage occurs stopping distance will be greater leading to a higher risk of collision. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front brake hose.
