Recall 21V-060 Fuel Pump 2011-2014 Model Years

 

R1200 / K1200/1300/1600, S1000RR, and HP4 models

 

BMW Motorrad is announcing a Safety Recall (21V-060) for Model Year 2011-2014 BMW R1200 / K1200/1300/1600, S1000RR, and HP4 models in the US.

During supplier production of the fuel pump, a support ring was installed on the fuel pump flange at the location of the quick connector using a pneumatic fastening tool. Over time, cracks could start to form at this location and propagate. Eventually, this could lead to a small leak during operation.

Customers will be informed of the recall by BMW Motorrad USA through first class mail beginning this month. Affected vehicles have been flagged with campaign 0000163900 in AIR. Please note other BMW system may take 24-48hrs to update.

A Service Information Bulletin is currently under development and will be released at the end of the week. A Q&A customer document has been attached for your reference when responding to customer questions.

 

NHTSA Statement

Please be reminded that it is a violation of federal law (The Safety Act) for you to sell, lease or deliver any new motor vehicle covered by this notification until the recall repair has been performed. This means that dealers may not legally deliver new motor vehicles to consumers until they are fixed or use/sell replacement equipment/parts subject to this recall. Note also that substantial civil penalties apply to violations of the Safety Act.

Also, you should not sell, lease or deliver any used vehicles in your inventory subject to a safety recall until the repair is completed.
