2003–2004 BMW F650 CS recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the plastic fuel pump flange could come into contact with a sufficient amount of acid or chemical compounds containing acidic elements, such as battery acid or certain cleaning products.
💥 The risk
The flange could become brittle, crack, and allow fuel to escape from the fuel tank. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an acid-resistant cap over the fuel pump flange. The recall began june 10, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
