Known Recall Investigations
  • Fuel leak - motorycle investigation # EA13006

    Odi began investigating this issue after owners of model year (my) 2004-2011 r-series bmw motorcycles reported incidents of pressurized fuel leakage from the fuel pump flange.Some owners first became aware of the problem when their pant leg was fuel-soaked.Prior to opening our initial investigation on november 16, 2012, bmw had concluded that the small number of warranty claims and owner reports did not indicate the existence of a safety defect trend.However, during the course of responding to our information requests, bmw re-examined its data and decided to conduct a recall (13v-617) of the subject motorcycles.In conducting recall 13v-617, bmw voluntarily expanded the scope of affected vehicles from odisoriginal scope, my2005-2008 r-series motorcycles, to include the primary and auxiliary fuel pumps on all my 2005-2011 r-series, my 2005-2011 k12&13 models, my 2010-2011 rr models, and the my 2012 k1600 motorcycles.The total number of motorcycles subject to this recalled is 50,184.The 55 reports cited in this investigation can be viewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following complaint identification numbers:10485789,10449393,10521322,10475150,10435325,10493015,10471642, 10448216,10488899,10356156,10433733,10442023,10492342,10435968, 10492961,10504324,10485882,10433013,10453738,10474390,10417320, 10485276,10444876,10508150,10485807,10492118,10491835,10425962, 10430734,10488652,10485274,10493320,10522421,10399423,10443840, 10448325,10490417,10485452,10433589,10467136,10420291,10503806, 10532145,10523763,10523626,10425514,10354202,10437222,10444742, 10454834,10532172,10487624,10435984,10452476, 10485337

The vehicle stalls when decelerating to low speed or to a stop. It has happened multiple times and most often when the vehicle is hot after lengthy driving in weather in excess of 90 degrees f. This is a widely recognized problem for this model and year and there has been a recall issued. My vehicle has no open recalls, so i assume it has been recalled for this problem (i am second owner). Bike has 24000 miles and the problem persists despite presumed recall remedy. This happened to me on interstate, middle lane when traffic slowed...Very dangerous.

When accelerating around 4500 to 5500 rpm, the engine bogs and the motorcycle loses speed. Other times, and at cruising speeds, when turning the throttle to accelerate at lower speeds, the bike does not accelerate immediately and takes a couple of seconds before it accelerates. When pulling in the clutch to change gears, the engine stalls. This can happen in the middle of a turn or driving down a straight road. This happens randomly. *tr

Center stand bent while trying to stand up my bike on it. I rarely used it, never abused it. Poor engineering suggested by an authorized motorcycle mechanic! *tr

Left hand-side multiswitch failure. Left without horn, turn signals, windshield adjustment etc. Operating any bike without an operational multiswitch to control the functions enumerated above is very dangerous and illegal. Safety check will expire soon and can't pass it without an operating multiswitch. Replacing it by bmw costs over $700. It seems that bmw has a long history with faulty multiswitches, both left and right hand side. Bmw should be determined to offer a recall on their multiswitches immediately! *tr

NoNoN NoneNone20140312

Left handle bar multifunction switch is malfunctioning again. This is the second switch on this bike. The right turn signal will not operate and the windshield will not retract. This is an ongoing problem with these bikes. When you expect the turn signal to be operating and it doesn't it can cause an accident. Also when you want the windshield to retract when it is rain streaked and your visibility is blocked, it can also cause an accident. *tr

NoNoN NoneNone20140201

No response from the left and right turn signals, horn, electrical windshield, cruise control. An internationally known issue on this bmw bike. Surprised there is no recall issued yet! Bmw dealer charges over $600.00 to replace the left hand multi switch part # 61318546213. *tr
