Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the plastic fuel pump flange could come into contact with a sufficient amount of acid or chemical compounds containing acidic elements, such as battery acid or certain cleaning products.

Why it matters: The flange could become brittle, crack, and allow fuel to escape from the fuel tank. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

The fix: Dealers will install an acid-resistant cap over the fuel pump flange. The recall began June 10, 2004. Owners should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
