Critical #13V617000 Plain English
Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your motorcycle is a critical part that connects the fuel pump to the tank. In some of your model years, this flange can crack and start leaking fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks out and meets an ignition source, like a spark or flame, it could cause a fire. This is a serious risk, especially when you're riding your motorcycle.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and either reinforce or replace the fuel pump flange to prevent a leak, all at no cost to you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and they'll take care of it for free.
