FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer

What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your motorcycle is a critical connection that keeps fuel from leaking out. Over time, it can develop tiny cracks and start to leak fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If fuel leaks from the pump flange and meets an ignition source, it could catch fire, posing a serious risk of a motorcycle fire.
Free Fix
BMW will inspect and repair or replace the fuel pump flange for free. Your dealer will contact you to schedule the work, and it's completely at no cost to you.

Component

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The rear wheel mounting flange is the part that holds your rear wheel in place. In some older BMW motorcycles, this flange can crack if the bolts are tightened too much.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, your rear wheel could come loose while you're riding, making it harder to control your motorcycle and increasing the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will swap out the aluminum flange with a stronger steel one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, to ensure your safety on the road.
