## What is wrong

BMW is recalling certain model year 2013 C600 Sport Maxi\-Scooters manufactured August 7, 2012, through November 20, 2012.  The fasteners on the front side trim panels may have insufficient strength to retain the panels at high speeds.


## What can happen

If the panel separates it could interfere with riding and handling of the scooter and increase the risk of a crash.  The panel could also become a hazard for other road users.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will reattach the left and right front side trim panels with stronger "snap\-lock" fasteners.  The recall began on January 10, 2013.  Owners may call BMW at 1\-800\-525\-7417 or email BMW at CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.


## Notes

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