What Happened
The fuel pump in your motorcycle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain models, the pump flange can crack and cause a fuel leak if it's been previously repaired under a different recall without replacing the pump.
Risk if Unfixed
If a fuel leak occurs while you're riding, there's a risk of a fire, which could be catastrophic.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new, improved one at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
