  The timing-chain tensioner is subject to wear because of a manufacturing defect . This means that gradually the timing chain is no longer adequately tensioned and as a result it slips its sprockets. If not rectified the engine could die while the vehicle is being ridden.
  recall the machines that are likely to be affected to replace the timing chain tensioner.

• Recall 2015527 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain motorcycles, the front brake hose could fatigue and crack due to tight left turning manoeuvres. The outer protective covering of the brake hose may kink due to excessive bending stress, causing the outer jacket of the brake line to crack, potentially resulting in a brake fluid leak. If brake fluid leakage occurs, the maximum front brake pressure may not be able to be applied. This would also increase stopping distances and could affect braking control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the front brake hose with one of an improved design.

On april 27, 2014 after 1,534 miles with no issues my bmw c600 sport maxi-scooter 2013 began to stall. Specifically, just after 1,500 miles i stalled several times during low-throttle or idle situations such as stoplights and slow-speed maneuvers, and i even stalled twice during slow-speed turns. The stalling issue was so pervasive (occurring at nearly every other stoplight and turn) i barely got it home, but managed to do so. I noticed a strong smell of gasoline inside the garage once the scooter was home and parked there. The strong gasoline smell continued for nearly 12 hours. I had the side stand replaced at my 1st (and only) service which was just a few weeks ago. This side stand replacement was per the recall notice i received from bmw. And this scooter never once stalled prior to the side stand replacement. It was only after the side stand replacement and after 1,500 miles that the scooter first stalled this april 27, 2014. *js

I bought this scooter in november 2012 & had quite a few stalling problems with it. After a few calls to bmw & my local dealer they were able to remedy the problem with a computer update. Yesterday the problem started again & has done it 2 days in a row. I've called the dealer & bmw & informed them of the problem. This no doubt could lead to either death or disability. Could you please look into this before i die. There is many instances of other people having the same problem on the internet just google bmw c600 stalling problems. *tr

I purchased a c600 sport on november 27th 2012. It stalled 2 times before the 600 miles check up not thinking much about it i didn't document those days but did call the dealer & let them know about it. I actually thought it might be a moisture problem in the start/kill switch. Yesterday february 9th it stalled 3 times & after reading the forums i filled the gas using the center stand thinking there might be an air pocket in the tank but it stalled again within 5 minutes. There doesn't seem to be a method to the stalling other stopping or low rpms everytime. I called the dealer & bmw to let them know about the problem february 9th & am weighing my options. 2-8-13 stalled 3 times @ low rpms 41 & sherwin williams broad & 3rd panera bread parking lot. *tr
