Component
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your motorcycle is a part that connects the fuel pump to your tank. In some 2005-2012 R, K, S 1000, and 2006-2010 HP2 models, this flange can crack and start leaking fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange leaks and you're near an ignition source, like an open flame or a spark, there's a real risk of a fire breaking out.
Free Fix
Your local BMW dealer will either reinforce the flange to prevent leaks or replace the pump entirely – both fixes are free for you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and they'll take care of it for you.
