“The unit started to stall out almost got hit by another car, loud knocking noise ran poorly like it was missing, quit running all together, then started turning over like it had no compression, took to a Bmw dealer they took motorcycle apart told me our serial number wasn't covered under recall although same year and model has a recall for same problem, I was on a city street when this happened”
NHTSA complaint #11112004, filed 2018-07, 6,364 miles“Vehicle stalled while driving at low speeds or at idle. The vehicle also stalled while making a left turn at an intersection and would not immediately restart. There was a recall on this model affecting years 2013 and 2014 this is a 2014 model.

NHTSA complaint #11342842, filed 2020-08, 29,002 miles“The timing chain tensioner on my Bmw 2014 c650gt malfunctioned and destroyed the engine in my scooter. I am uninjured. Luckily. Stalled as I arrived at my destination and would not restart with very loud rattling noises from the engine compartment. I'm quite upset after seeing the attached recall from 6 years ago and wondering why the dealership where I purchased the vehicle, Bmw of cambridge, ma , did not notify me of this. It would have prevented the unfortunate incident from happening.”
