Fuel leak - motorycle investigation # EA13006

Quick disconnect coupling attached to fuel pump broke at threads generating a fuel leak. This issue caused recall of other 2012 models due to defective parts. It appears the issue is extended to more vehicles than originally listed. Bmw is not covering those repairs at the moment, but risk of fire is extremely high.
