What Happened
The fuel pump in your motorcycle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In certain 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 could spill onto hot engine parts. If there's an ignition source nearby, there's a risk of a fire.

Your authorized BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, at no cost to you. Just schedule an appointment when you receive the recall notice.
