FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump in your motorcycle is responsible for delivering gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain 2011-2014 models, this pump can crack and leak fuel while you're riding.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump leaks, it could cause a fire if there's an open flame nearby, such as a spark from the engine or another heat source. This is a serious risk that could lead to a fire.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one at no cost to you. You'll get a notification soon, and they'll take care of the repair.
