What is the FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP recall for the 2012 BMW K 1600 GT? (Campaign #13V617000)

Your motorcycle's fuel pump is like a tiny engine that brings gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2005-2012 BMW motorcycles, this pump's flange (the part that connects it to the tank) could crack and start leaking fuel. If the flange cracks and leaks fuel, and you're near a spark, it could ignite and cause a fire. Your BMW dealer will either reinforce the flange or replace the pump, free of charge. You'll get a notification, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
