Defect
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.
Safety 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.
Remedy
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.
