There is a possibility of the luggage carrier detaching itself from the vehicle if loosened threaded fasteners remain unnoticed.
  recall all the vehicles that are likely to be affected to ascertain whether a luggage carrier is fitted. All luggage carriers installed on vehicles will be re-secured with thread-locking compound applied to the threaded fasteners with replacement of brackets as necessary.

• 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.

After completing a turn onto city street it just quit as if you hit the kill switch. I was 3 miles from home and it did this again twice before i reached home. It failed to start again at the gated entrance. At this point when i tried to restart it had lost all compression. Clear to me that the recall on that issue was the problem. I pushed it the rest of the way home.

Vehicle stalls at low speeds. Will surge at low speeds. Will stall out when doing less than 15 mph or giving no throttle. Will stall when vehicle is stopped for traffic or parking it. Has been to the dealer twice for repairs with negative results. They claim it's a computer issue. They fail to repair it. See c650gt blog for others with the same problem: http://www.Webbikeworld.Com/bmw-c-650-gt/blog.Htm#stalling

Bike stalling at low speed and without warning. Was in slow moving traffic and went to accelerate and bike stalled. In order to restart, need to apply brake and start. Truck behind almost rear ended me as i was restarting. The bike has stalled several times in the past 3 days, all at low speed and coasting. *tr

Vehicle stall occasionally at low speed/low idle... *js

Has happen a number of times where the engine stalls while reducing rpms. Concerned if on highway and engine stops. *tr

The scooter is stalling during low-throttle or idle situations such as stoplights and slow-speed maneuvers, slow speed turns etc. The issue is documented in a few online articles.

Engine stopped running. No other functionality was affected. Had to coast to a stop to restart. This happened twice in the first 5 miles of riding, and in good weather. Rode 10 miles altogether. *tr

Driving on city street approaching a stop and the vehicle engine shut off without any warning or anything. *tr

@ 1050 miles: the scooter started stalling at low speeds in stop and go traffic. I can never predict when it is going to happen. It did it once while i was making a right hand turn and the car behind barley missed hitting me." you must apply the brake to restart, slowing you way down or stopping you {dangerous}, it has always restarted without a problem. The first chance i had i took it to the bmw service center 2/28/14 about a week after it started, it is still there. They said it hadn't done it for them i told them to keep it and ride it again. This has happened on different tanks of gas and i always use premium bp so far. *tr
