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.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE $2600 FOR THE SERV
