BMW Motorcycles and Scooters: Brake Caliper Corrosion Risk high
Certain 2019 BMW C 400 X scooters, 2018 to 2020 G 310 GS, and 2017 to 2020 G 310 R motorcycles may have front and rear brake caliper pistons that corrode. This corrosion can cause a piston to stick or drag inside the caliper bore, instead of moving smoothly as intended. When this happens, the affected brake may not engage or release the way it normally would.
