2005 BMW K1200 LT recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, at lower temperatures, wiring within the anti-theft control unit may press against the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay contacts could open, interrupting the fuel supply to the engine, resulting in stalling.
💥 The risk
If stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain speed or accelerate, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the anti-theft control unit. The recall began october 4, 2004. Customers 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.)
