Consequence:
If this happened, motorcycle handling and control would be compromised, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will temporarily deactivate the tpm system, remove the corresponding valves and integral tpm sensors, and then replace them with standard valves. when a permanent repair is available, owners will be notified to bring their vehicles in for reactivation of the tpm system and replacement of the integral tpm sensors and valves. the recall began on january 12, 2007. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-331-1117.

Affected:
4,922
Defect:
Bmw is recalling 4,922 my 2007-2008 r1200r, my 2006-2007 r1200 gs, my 2007 r1200 st, and my 2008 r1200 gs adventure motorcycles. due to the current routing of the front brake lines, it is possible that during riding, the brake lines could be under strain. if the vibration/strain is significant, the brake lines could split and start to develop a leak. if the leak became significant, brake fluid could escape. if this happened, the level of fluid in the reservoir of the front brake system could drop.
Consequence:
If fluid level drops significantly, the front brakes could fail increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect and install new brake lines with a modified routing free of charge. the recall began during august 2008. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.

Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump
Manufactured:
07/31/2006 - 01/30/2008
Affected:
4,839
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.
Consequence:
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.
Correction:
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.
