Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

• NHTSA recall #09V319000August 7, 20094,839 vehicles affected

  fuel system, gasoline: delivery: fuel pump

  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.

  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.

  Remedy

  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.

• NHTSA recall #08V254000June 5, 20084,922 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components: hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

  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.

  If fluid level drops significantly, the front brakes could fail increasing the risk of a crash.

  Remedy

  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.
