What Happened
The fuel pump flange in your motorcycle is the part that connects the fuel pump to the tank. Over time, it can crack and start leaking fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump flange cracks, you could have a leak, and if that leak is near an ignition source, it could cause a fire.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and reinforce or replace the fuel pump flange, free of charge, to prevent any potential leaks and fires. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your motorcycle's rear wheel mounting flange is a critical part that keeps the wheel safely attached to the bike. In some models, this flange can crack if the mounting bolts are over-tightened.
Risk if Unfixed
If the flange cracks, the rear wheel can come loose, making it hard to control the motorcycle. This could cause a serious accident.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will swap out the aluminum flange for a stronger steel one, at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
