Component
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your bike is a critical part that helps send gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2005-2012 BMW motorcycles, this flange can crack and start leaking fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump flange cracks, it could leak fuel, and if an ignition source is nearby, a fire could start. This is a serious risk that could put you in danger.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and reinforce or replace the fuel pump flange, free of charge. You'll be notified when it's time for the repair, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
