What Happened
The fuel pump in your motorcycle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain 2011-2014 BMW models, this pump can crack and start leaking fuel while you're riding.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump cracks and leaks fuel, and there's an ignition source, the fuel could ignite, causing a fire. This could put you and others at risk of serious injury or even a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will swap out the faulty fuel pump for a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
