2 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
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.
On some BMW G310R and G310GS motorcycles, repeated use and loading of the side stand can damage the stand itself as well as the motorcycle's frame over time. This kind of damage can cause the motorcycle to unexpectedly fall over while it is parked and not moving, which increases the chance that someone standing nearby could be injured by the falling bike.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
