What Happened
The fuel pump in your motorcycle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain 2011-2014 models, this pump and a secondary pump in other models can crack and start leaking fuel while you're riding.

If fuel leaks out while you're on the road and there's an ignition source nearby, it could cause a fire. This is a serious risk that could put you in harm's way.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will either reinforce the fuel pump flange or replace it, free of charge, to prevent a potential fire. The repair is no-cost to you, and you should contact your dealer to schedule it as soon as possible.
