Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, at lower temperatures, wiring within the anti-theft control unit may press against the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay contacts could open, interrupting the fuel supply to the engine, resulting in stalling.

Why it matters: If stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain speed or accelerate, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the anti-theft control unit. The recall began October 4, 2004. Customers should contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
