Topcase fell off?!!

[wezul]

Just received a safety recall from BMW NA on the top case issue.
I did not purchase a top case, why they do not know that is costing them more $ beyond the risk exposure and replacement costs.
Looks like we have an end to the story.

Recall Campaign No. 13E-030

The recall is not for the Top Case, it is for the Luggage Rack.

"The luggage rack is secured to the scooter via several attachment bolts. During riding, the bolts could loosen. If the bolts continue to loosen, the luggage rack could eventually separate from the scooter. This could result in a road hazard for drivers of other vehicles increasing the risk of a crash."

The Top Case is fine. (As far as we know, so far.)

Top Case - er, Luggage Rack falling off - Resolved

Just an update - I received the letter from BMW a couple of weeks back and brought my 650 to the dealer, who mounted the rack and case. Ridden some 2K miles since with no ill effect. It seems to be corrected.

Pleased you got to the end of the story. And it's a happy.
