Component
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump in your BMW motorcycle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. The flange that connects it to the tank can crack and leak fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, fuel can leak out and ignite, causing a fire. This is a serious safety risk, especially on a motorcycle where flames could spread quickly.
Free Fix
BMW will inspect and repair the flange for free. If it's cracked, they'll either reinforce it or replace the entire fuel pump at no cost to you. You should contact BMW to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
