On certain motorcycles, if the plastic fuel pump flange comes into contact with a sufficient amount of acid or chemical compounds containing acidic elements, such as battery acid or certain cleaning products, the flange may become brittle. Over time, the flange may crack, and eventually allow fuel to escape from the fuel tank. Correction: Dealers will install an acid-resistant cap over the fuel pump flange.

On certain motorcycles the rear caliper attaching screws are under torqued. This could cause the caliper to separate from its mount, potentially rupturing the brake line and causing a loss of rear braking. It is also possible in such a case for the caliper to cause rear wheel lock up adversely affecting the dynamic stability of the motorcycle. Correction: Dealers will inspect and correct the torque of the rear caliper screws. This is an extension to recall 02-099.

On certain motorcycles, the hex nut that secures the front drive belt wheel to the gearbox output shaft was torqued to a value less than specification during the vehicle assembly process. As a consequence, the nut could loosen during vehicle operation. If this happens, the belt wheel would itself loosen on the output shaft, resulting in damage to the internal splines of the wheel and to the external splines of the output shafts as the vehicle is operated. Over time, the splines could be damaged to the extent that the output shaft would no longer operate the drive belt, resulting in a loss of drive capability at the rear wheel. Correction: Dealer will secure the front drive belt wheel to the gearbox output shaft by utilizing a new set of components, including a redesigned front wheel pulley. Also the main-shaft splines will be inspected for proper dimension and replaced is it is out of specifications. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2002184

2002 BMW F 650 Cs recall questions
Transport Canada lists 7 recalls for the 2002 BMW F 650 Cs model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window, and some only vehicles found on inspection.
Enter your VIN in BMW's Canadian recall lookup, or call a BMW dealer with your VIN. In Canada the manufacturer is responsible for showing recall and repair status for each VIN, so its lookup is the authoritative answer. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. NHTSA campaigns cover vehicles sold in the United States, and NHTSA's VIN lookup has no Canadian data. When a defect also affects Canadian vehicles, the manufacturer files a separate notice with Transport Canada, often under a different number and sometimes covering a different set of vehicles. For a Canadian vehicle, go by the Transport Canada listing and BMW's Canadian lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorised BMW dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once BMW's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorised BMW dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with BMW Canada so notices reach you, and check the manufacturer's lookup from time to time.
