Component
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The fuel pump flange on your motorcycle is the part that connects the fuel pump to your tank. Over time, it could crack and start leaking fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, you could get a fuel leak. This is especially serious since it can catch fire if it's near a spark. A motorcycle fire can be extremely dangerous, especially while you're on the move.
Free Fix
BMW will fix the issue for free. Your dealer will either repair the existing flange or replace the fuel pump entirely, at no cost to you.
