What’s the Problem?
This recall affects 2019 BMW C400X Scooters, according to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Water may collect in the throttle cable, which can freeze in cold temperatures, resulting in a stuck throttle on affected scooters, NHTSA said. If the throttle sticks open, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

BMW is notifying owners and dealers will, as a temporary remedy, dry the throttle cable and affix a warning label instructing owners to not ride in temperatures near or below freezing. The final remedy is still under development, according to the NHTSA. This recall began on April 6, 2020.
