Spanky - the NHTSA documentation associated with this recall has the following:
Model Inclusive Dates of Manufacture Production Volume
2013 C600 Sport Nov 28, 2012 - Sep 16, 2013 103
2013 C650 GT Dec 3, 2012 - Sep 18, 2013 284
However when I called my dealer he said my bike (C650GT) WAS included in the recall - even though it was manufactured in September 2012.
Best ideal is probably contact the dealer yourself if you do not hear from them in the next few days.
In the meantime, don't wash the bike or ride in the rain...

In order for the recall to be satisfied, I believe it HAS to be done and checked off by the dealer. I suppose if you have a really good relationship with your dealership, they can give you the necessary parts to install but you'll probably have to return the old parts so they can verify the work had been done. Again, when the NHTSA issues the recall notice, they are bound by some legalities as to how it must be done...
Received letter from BMW Australia today dated 4 April advising of the "Safety Related Recall".
Called the dealer to arrange for the replacement and the always reliable service guy hadn't even heard about it. The dealer can't do anything until they are aware of the issue and have the parts on hand to do the job.

I've not received a letter, anyone in North America receive one? I'm thinking of calling the BMW customer service number. I'd like to think, no news is good news, but then again...

If the scooter is used by the police somewhere, will the side stand switch be different from ours, I would guess that it does not shut of the engine. If so ask for the police version.
When you get the part replaced ask your dealer if you can have the old part. If you want to play with the side stand switch to disengage the engine shut off.

Went by on Saturday. Took 30 minutes as predicted. Still never received a letter from BMW...

You know what? I never received a letter on this campaign either. And I'd never even heard of the luggage rack support replacement recall either. Only letter I ever received was the one informing me of the cam chain tensioner (and I never got the promised follow-up letter either).
