The fuel pump in your bike is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain models, the flange that holds the pump in place can crack and cause a leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump flange cracks, it could leak fuel while your engine is running. This could ignite and cause a fire, which could lead to serious injury or property damage.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new, safer version at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

The rear wheel mounting flange on your BMW motorcycle is a crucial part that keeps the wheel attached to the bike. It's like a metal plate that bolts onto the wheel hub.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks due to over-tightening, the bolts could come loose, causing the rear wheel to break free. This could make your motorcycle unstable and increase the risk of a serious crash.
