RECALL 20V-471 FUEL PUMP CHECK

*The affected vehicles have been marked with campaign number 0000163800.

 

In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this campaign it will be necessary to verify the vehicle VIN in AIR (Aftersales Information Research). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the repair or take no further action. Please note, open campaigns or vehicle stops may not appear in DCS Warranty Vehicle Inquiry or sales systems until 24-72 hours after they are announced, therefore AIR is always the recommended method for determining open campaigns and vehicle stops.

 

SITUATION

As part of a previous Safety Recall (13V-617) a steel support ring was installed on the fuel pump flange. In rare cases, this repair can cause cracks in the quick-release coupling resulting in leaks with fuel odor or the leaking of small quantities of fuel.

 

Figure 1: connecting flange of fuel-pump unit

 

(1)  – Series solution with support ring

 

(2)  – support ring with missing in circlesegment that was retrofitted as part of Safety Recall 13V-617

 

(3) – old series status without support ring

 

CORRECTION

Since Spring 2011, a steel support ring has been installed in production on the fuel pump flange for the quick-release coupling.

 

Depending on the model, the fuel-pump unit and/or additional fuel-pump unit (K25) must be checked in the affected vehicles and replaced, if condition #2 or #3 are found in figure 1.

 

In addition, for the R 1200 GS (K25, 0317), the fuel distributor must be replaced in addition to the additional fuel-pump unit, as the quick-release coupling is no longer located directly on the flange.

 

Customers will be notified by BMW Motorrad USA via First Class mail advising them of this recall.

Customers will be asked to schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW Motorrad dealer to have the check/repair performed. In the case of vehicles that are in dealer inventory and have not yet been delivered, the Technical Campaign must be carried out before delivery to customers. Vehicles have been marked with a delivery stop.

Note also that substantial civil penalties apply to violations of the Safety Act. Also, you should not sell, lease or deliver any used motorcycles subject to a safety recall until the repair is completed. Please follow any special instructions that we provide to you for the return or disposition of recall parts.

TREAD ACT CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT PLAN

If you have paid for the repair described in the attached letter, and you would like your expenses to be considered for reimbursement, please contact your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer. Expenses paid to repair facilities outside of the BMW Motorcycle dealer network will be considered; however, the repair procedure must meet BMW standards.

 

Your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer will request a copy of your owner notification letter, as well as, your previously paid invoice. They will then inspect your motorcycle (if it is still in your possession) prior to submitting a claim on your behalf to BMW of North America, LLC for reimbursement.

 

Please note the following:

• Only a repair that is the subject of this safety recall is reimbursable. Consequential expenses such as towing, rental, accommodations, damage repairs, etc. will not be reimbursed.

• The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for BMW Genuine Parts will be considered as the guideline for reasonable part charges.

• Repair labor, taxes and hazardous waste disposal, when previously paid, are eligible for reimbursement.

• Expenses for repairs performed more than 10 days after the date of the last owner notification sent by BMW are not eligible for reimbursement.

 

Your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer should be able to answer any questions that you may have regarding your qualifications for reimbursement of a previous repair. If you qualify for such a reimbursement, your BMW Motorcycle dealer will also be able to advise you of the manner in which you can expect to receive reimbursement.

 

Your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer should be your primary contact on this issue; however, our Customer Relations and Services Department may be contacted at 1-800-525-7417 for any special assistance that you may require.

 

In special situations where your authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer cannot be of assistance, you may submit your written request for reimbursement to:

Customer Relations and Services Department
BMW of North America, LLC
P.O. Box 1227
Westwood, NJ 07675-1227

 

If you intend to submit a request for reimbursement to our Customer Relations and Services department, your motorcycle (if it is still in your possession and was repaired at a facility outside of the BMW Motorcycle dealer network) will need to be inspected at an authorized BMW Motorcycle dealer before a claim can be accepted for consideration. This is to ensure that prior repairs at an outside facility meet BMW standards for recall completion.
