Plain-English summary
BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2005-2012 BMW motorcycles, including K1200, R1200, K1300, S1000 RR, HP2, and K1600 models. This recall applies to vehicles that were previously repaired under recall 13V-617 with the support ring remedy but where the fuel pump was not subsequently replaced.
The affected motorcycles have a fuel pump flange that may crack. This defect can result in a fuel leak while the engine is running. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump(s) with an improved version free of charge. The recall began on January 18, 2021. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
