2007 BMW R1200 GS Recalls (3)
- Campaign:
- 08V254000 on 06/04/2008
- Component:
- Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 07/05/2006 - 07/05/2007
- 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.

- Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

- 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.
