BMW G 310 R, G 310 GS Recalled In USA

BMW Motorrad is all set to launch the G 310 R and the G 310 GS in India tomorrow. And right before the G 310 twins are launched in India, BMW Motorrad has issued a recall for these two motorcycles in USA. BMW says that the G310R and the G310GS suffer from an issue in the chassis wherein repeated use of the kickstand might see it getting damaged. Over a period of time, the section of the frame that encloses the kickstand bushing could possibly break or get damaged over a period of time. This could possibly lead to an injury for the rider/passenger. And therefore, BMW Motorrad has recalled a total of 2,376 units of the BMW G 310 R and the BMW G 310 GS.
