2017 BMW C Evolution, 2017 BMW C650 GT Maxi-Scooter Recall: Wheels
NHTSA campaign 17V467000 · Wheels · filed Jul 21, 2017 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2017 BMW C650 GT and BMW C Evolution scooters for failing to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 120, "Wheels and rims-other than passenger cars." The front rims may not be marked with the required rim type and the DOT designation.
The risk
Since the rim is not marked with the rim size and the DOT designation, a tire of the incorrect size may be installed on this rim, affecting the handling of the scoter and increasing the risk of a crash.
