Summary

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2019 C400X scooters. Water may collect in the throttle cable, which can freeze in cold temperatures, resulting in a stuck throttle.

 

Remedy

BMW will notify owners, and as an interim repair, dealers will dry the throttle cable and affix a warning label instructing owners to not ride in temperatures near or below freezing, free of charge. Owners are also advised to not wash their motorcycle near the throttle cable, and to avoid riding in rainy conditions. The final remedy is still under development. An interim letter is expected to be mailed April 6, 2020. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

To determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this Campaign, it will be necessary to verify all VIN’s through AIR (Aftersales Information Research). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action.

VINs in DCS Vehicle History Check may not appear until 24-72 hours after the release of this bulletin, therefore AIR is the recommended method for determining open campaigns

 

NHTSA STATEMENT

Please be reminded that it is a violation of federal law (The Safety Act) for you to sell, lease or deliver any new motorcycle covered by this notification until the recall repair has been performed. This means that dealers may not legally deliver new motorcycles to consumers until they are fixed or use/sell replacement equipment/parts subject to this recall.

 

Note also:

• Substantial civil penalties apply to violations of the Safety Act
• You should not sell, lease or deliver any Certified Pre-Owned or used motorcycles subject to a safety recall until the repair is completed
• Follow any special instructions that we provide to you for the return or disposition of recall parts

 

SITUATION

The position of the throttle cable may cause an accumulation of water in the throttle cable sleeves that will not drain when riding in the rain for an extended period of time or when thoroughly cleaning the vehicle.

When riding in outside temperatures below freezing, this can lead to stiff movement up to the complete freezing of the throttle cables, and lead to a critical riding situation.

Figure 1: Routing of throttle cable.

 

CORRECTION

In the vehicles concerned, Throttle cables and throttle-cable fixture must be replaced.

The description of the required labor operation can be found in the current Repair and Service Data BMW Motorrad (AIR)- Refer to 00 60 361 Converting throttle cables and throttle grip

Recall Campaign No. 20V-083:  Throttle Cable

 

April 2020

Dear BMW Owner / Lessee:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.  BMW AG has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Model Year 2019 BMW C 400 X scooters.  Our records indicate that you are the owner of a potentially affected scooter.

 

Why are we contacting you?

Although the remedy is not yet available, we are informing you of this important Safety Recall.  We will notify you with a follow-up letter as soon as the remedy is available.

 

What could happen?

When riding in very cold temperatures, water could collect and freeze within the throttle cable, impair throttle function, and could lead to a stuck throttle condition.  If this happens, decelerating by closing the throttle may not be possible, which could increase the risk of a crash.

We recommend that you not ride your scooter in temperatures near / below freezing, and also not in rainy conditions.  We also recommend that you not wash your motorcycle near the throttle cable.  If you ride in temperatures near / below freezing, and you notice unusual throttle behavior, your scooter may be experiencing this issue.  If this occurs, please contact BMW Motorcycle Roadside Assistance at 1-877-680-2176 to have your scooter brought to the nearest authorized Motorcycle dealer.

We suggest that you contact your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer to have the throttle cable dried. During this visit, the dealer will also affix a label warning about riding in temperatures near / below freezing.

If you are not the only rider of this scooter, please advise all other riders of this important information.

 

What will BMW do?

When the remedy is available, your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer will perform the remedy for free, and will take approximately one hour.

 

What if the current scooter ownership information is incorrect?

You can update scooter ownership and contact information by completing the enclosed postage-paid card. If you are a scooter lessor, Federal Regulations require you to forward this notice to your lessee within ten days.

 

What if you have questions or experience problems?

For the latest updates to this recall, please visit www.bmwmotorcycles.com/recall.  Should you have any questions about this recall, please contact your authorized BMW motorcycle dealer.  If you need additional assistance, contact BMW Customer Relations and Services at 1-800-525-7417 or at [email protected].

If your BMW motorcycle dealer is unable to remedy the defect without charge or within a reasonable period of time, you may notify the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to https://www.safercar.gov.

IMPORTANTE RETIRADA POR MOTIVOS DE SEGURIDAD

Repuesto no disponible
Este aviso se aplica a su scooter
Campaña de retirada n.º 20V-083: Cable del acelerador

 

Abril de 2020

Estimado propietario o arrendatario de BMW:

Le enviamos esta notificación en virtud de la Ley nacional de tráfico y seguridad de vehículos motorizados.  BMW AG ha decidido que algunos scooters BMW C 400 X del año 2019 presentan un defecto relacionado con la seguridad del vehículo.  En nuestros registros consta que usted es propietario de un scooter que podría estar afectado.

 

¿Por qué lo estamos contactando?

Por la presente le informamos sobre este importante llamado a revisión por motivos de seguridad, si bien aún no contamos con una solución para el problema.  Le notificaremos en una próxima comunicación tan pronto contemos con una solución al problema.

 

¿Qué podría suceder?

Al conducir a temperaturas muy bajas, se podría acumular agua en el cable del acelerador la cual podría congelarse; esto podría impedir el funcionamiento del acelerador ya que podría atascarse. Si esto ocurre, es posible que no pueda desacelerar reduciendo la velocidad con el acelerador, lo que podría aumentar el riesgo de un accidente o choque.

Le recomendamos no conducir su scooter en temperaturas bajo cero (o cercanas a este nivel) ni en condiciones lluviosas.  También le recomendamos no lavar el área cercana al cable del acelerador de la motocicleta.  Si conduce en un ambiente con temperaturas bajo cero (o cercanas a este nivel) y nota un comportamiento inusual del acelerador, es posible que la motocicleta esté experimentando este problema.  De ser así, comuníquese con el departamento de asistencia en carretera para motocicletas de BMW llamando al 1-877-680-2176 para que el scooter sea trasladado al distribuidor de motocicletas autorizado más cercano.

Sugerimos contactar a su distribuidor de motocicletas BMW autorizado para secar el cable del acelerador.  Durante la visita, el personal del distribuidor también colocarán una etiqueta de advertencia sobre la conducción en temperaturas bajo cero (o cercanas a este nivel).

Si usted no es el único conductor de este vehículo, notifique a los demás conductores sobre esta importante información.

 

¿Qué hará BMW?

Cuando contemos con una solución, su distribuidor de motocicletas BMW autorizado realizará la reparación en forma gratuita, lo cual debería tomar aproximadamente una hora.

 

¿Qué debo hacer si la información sobre el dueño del scooter es incorrecta?

Puede actualizar los datos de contacto o la información sobre propiedad del scooter completando la tarjeta adjunta prefranqueada. Si el scooter se hubiera vendido a través de leasing, de acuerdo con la ley federal deberá enviar este aviso dentro de diez días al propietario que lo adquirió a través de esta modalidad de compra.

 

¿Qué debe hacer si tiene preguntas o experimenta un problema?

Para ver la información más reciente sobre este llamado, visitewww.bmwmotorcycles.com/recall.  Si tiene cualquier pregunta sobre este llamado a revisión, comuníquese con su distribuidor de motocicletas BMW autorizado.  Si necesita más ayuda, comuníquese con el departamento de servicio y relaciones de BMW llamando al 1-800-525-7417, o por correo electrónico escribiendo a [email protected]

Si su distribuidor de motocicletas BMW no pudiera solucionar este defecto en forma gratuita o dentro de un plazo razonable, notifique a la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial escribiendo a: Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, o llamando al número gratuito de la línea directa para seguridad vehicular al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), o visitando el sitio https://www.safercar.gov.

Tenga la certeza que su seguridad es importante para nosotros y sinceramente nos disculpamos si este llamado pudiera ocasionarle algún inconveniente.  Recomendamos usar siempre un casco y ropa protectora al conducir.

Atentamente,

BMW of North America, LLC
