FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your motorcycle is a critical connection that sends gasoline to your engine. In some 2005-2012 R, K, and S 1000 models, this flange can crack and leak fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange leaks while you're riding, fuel could spill onto a hot engine or exhaust system, causing a fire.
Free Fix
Your local BMW dealer will inspect the flange and either reinforce it or replace the fuel pump, all at no cost to you. They'll contact you when the repair is ready, but you can also reach out to BMW's customer relations at 1-800-525-7417 or CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

High Priority #15V141000 Plain English
Component

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The bolts that hold your rear wheel in place are the ones that might be the problem. They're tightened to your rear wheel flange, and if they're over-tightened, the flange could crack.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, the bolts could loosen and your rear wheel might come loose. This could make your motorcycle unstable and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the aluminum rear wheel flange with a stronger steel one – for free. They'll take care of it, and you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
