2006–2008 BMW R1200 GS recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
BMW is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2008 R1200 GS motorcycles manufactured between august 2006 and january 2008. The sealing of the fuel pump control unit housing might be insufficient and water could intrude into the control unit housing creating a humid atmosphere. Under such conditions, the fuel pump could corrode and then fail.
💥 The risk
Failure of the fuel pump will cause inadequate fuel to reach the engine and cause the engine to stop running. A loss of engine power without warning could increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
BMW will notify owners and replace the fuel pump control unit free of charge. The safety recall began on november 9, 2009. Owners may 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.)
