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.

It is the camshaft chain tensioner, I know this because bmw sent a letter to you on may 14th 2014 in a 3 page document stating that this is a serious issue and that bmw would be issuing a recall to repair the issue. I don't care about the $2600 for the service, however, I do care about being in danger of being killed because the engine decides to stall on the freeway or while making a turn on an intersection or even worse riding close to a cliff and riding over the side because of loss of power. The letter was addressed to nancy lewis associate administrator of enforcement from samuel campbell iii, department head ,safety engineering and its.
