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 may crack and leak fuel while you're riding.
Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Your local BMW dealership will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair is part of the recall, so you shouldn't pay a thing.
