FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer

What Happened
The fuel pump in your motorcycle is the part that sends gasoline from your tank to your engine. In some 2011-2014 BMW models, this pump can crack and leak fuel while you're riding.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump cracks and leaks fuel, it could ignite and cause a fire. This is a serious risk while you're on the road, especially if you're near an ignition source.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, at no cost to you. They'll do this as soon as you get the recall notice, and it's a crucial fix to keep you safe on the road.
