Recalls for 2004 Bmw R 1200 Gs

DEFECT #1 - FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Posted on: 2005-03-10
Description
On certain motorcycles, the defect involves a water leak around the fuel pump that is integrated within the fuel tank.  An o-ring seal attached to the pump's electronic housing does not meet specifications and water can bypass this seal and contact the pump electronics.  

Consequence
Engine stalling, or a failure to start, could occur without prior warning.  If stalling were to occur while the motorcycle was being driven, the rider would be unable to maintain speed or accelerate and a crash could occur without prior warning.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace a sealing ring.  If the fuel pump electronic unit is corroded, it will be replaced free of charge.  The recall began may 9, 2005.  Additional my 2005 r1200 gs motorcycles were added to this recall in december 2005.  Owners of my 2005 motorcycles will receive a notification during february 2006 through august 2006.  Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
