• Recall RM/2010/008 [UK]: Front brake pipes may leak.
  The front brake pipes may leak brake fluid which can be noticed in the first instance by seepage of brake fluid from the front hose/s and a lowering of the fluid level in the reservoir. The next stage of failure would be a spongy feeling to the brake control and dripping fluid from the brake hoses. If all the previous indicators have not been noted and rectified the brakes will eventually not apply.
  recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check which brake hoses are fitted and if not the latest version fit new brake hoses.

• Recall 2017428 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Certain motorcycles with dealer installed accessory turn signals may not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard (cvmss) 108 - lighting system and retroreflective devices. The size of the lens on the accessory turn signals may be too small, and therefore would not meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity to following and approaching road users, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the accessory turn signals with factory indicators that meet the requirements of the standard.

• Recall 2015101 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain motorcycles, the threaded holes on the rear wheel flange could crack if the wheel bolts are tightened beyond the specified torque limit during servicing. Over time, this could allow the bolts to back out of their threaded holes, causing the rear wheel to become loose. This could result in a loss of stability of the motorcycle, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the aluminum rear wheel flange with a steel flange.

• Recall 2013442 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain motorcycles, cracks could develop in the fuel pump and/or auxiliary fuel pump flange (if equipped). This would result in fuel leaking when the engine is turned on and the fuel system is pressurized. Leaking fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could lead to a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will inspect the fuel pump flange(s) and install a reinforcing ring or replace the fuel pump(s), as necessary.

• Recall 2010395 [Canada]: Suspension
  On certain motorcycles, due to environmental conditions, the bearings of the link lever attached to the rear strut could be subject to corrosion. This could lead to reduced movement of the link lever. Over time, if the corrosion became significant, restriction of movement of the link lever could occur. This could affect handling of the motorcycle. In an extreme case, this could result in the connecting rod breaking by a bending force, causing the rear wheel to decelerate by contact with the inner fender. This could lead to a crash depending on traffic, road conditions and rider's reactions. Correction: dealers will replace the rear suspension relay lever.

• Recall 2007019 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain motorcycles, frequent short-trip usage, particularly at low ambient temperatures, causes condensation, increasing the proportion of water in the engine oil. The water vapour produced while the engine is running condenses at the outlet port of the dry-sump oil tank breather. If temperatures are below 0 degrees celsius, the condensation can freeze and plug the breather line of the oil tank. As a result, oil tank over-pressurization can cause the tank to rupture, allowing oil to escape onto the rear wheel and create the risk of a crash causing injuries or death. Correction: dealers will install an updated oil cap with a pressure relief valve.

• Recall 2006249 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain motorcycles, the integral anti-lock brake system (iabs) cable may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. If this is the case, the cable may contact the front forks which could result in a loss of abs function. Correction: dealers will replace the iabs sensor cable.

• 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

I have had the fuel level sensor replaced 4 times in the past three years and under 2,000 miles. The last one was replaced 4/2/18 with 37,200 miles and it failed after 41-miles. Bmw refuses to honor their 2-year parts warranty and replace the last one replaced 4/2/18. This is a safety issue as my fuel gauge does not work and running out of gas on the highway or when crossing an intersection could easily result in a fatal accident. Bmw extended their coverage on this known defective part for 12-years and my coverage ran out in august 2018

I have experienced a recurring problem with high engine idle speed, unresponsive decelaeration when the throttle is closed and rough or "bucking" at constant cruising speeds of approximately 60 mph. I have learned from multiple independent forums that this is a common problem among owners of this model. Repair attempts, at owners expense, have produced inconsistent satisfactory results. Operation of the motorcycle is unsafe. Bmw should be forced to develop a solution and a subsequesnt recall issued to repair the problem at company expense. *tr

This k1200gt, 2006 model year, has been stalling at speeds >50mph. Many times, the stalls occur at highway speeds 70-80mph with sudden, unexpected deceleration, and loss of brakes (they are power assisted by the motor). Many occurrences have resulted in near misses in regards to accidents. Initial findings be a repairing dealer indicated that it was incompatible fuel type (ie fuels containing ethanol, water in fuel, etc) but the problem continues after switching fuel grades and stations. Problem seems to exist or appears more rampantly when ambient temperature is above 60. *tr ..Updated 11/14/12 *bf updated 12/4/2012 *js

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 bmw k1200 gt. While riding approximately 20 mph, the vehicle remained at a constant speed instead of decelerating when the throttle was released. The contact stated that when the throttle was held at a constant speed, the engine often surged. The dealer was aware of the failure, but had not inspected the vehicle. The vin was unknown. The current mileage was 7,400 and failure mileage was 5,600. Updated 09/26/07 *tr

Idle is erratic. Bikes idle jumps randomly and hangs up at a high rpm at idle or when shifting between gears. Bike has been in for repair five times now. Dealer has replaced the airbox and updated software to no avail. Bike is unsafe to ride in this condition. Problem is more pronounced at higher ambient temps. *jb

My venicle sporadically exibits an idle speed which is abnormally high, and makes low speed, traffic diriving dangerous. The manufacturer has changed components and computer software to fix the problem to no avail. My motorcycle remains unsafe and not running properly

Engine will not idle properly, it should idle at 1,000 rpm. At least part of every ride it will go up to 1,500 to 2,000 rpm.

Brake warning light constantly illuminated. Bmw dealer cannot turn it off or reset it. Internet chat rooms reveal this is a very common problem with the late model bmw motorcycle line. *tr

(1) events leading up to the failure: bmw motorcycle 06 k1200gt. Driving motorcycle at highway speeds. Engine fully warmed up. (2) failure and its consequences: shutting off throttle to down shift engine would not idle down, engine idle stuck at 3000 rpm for five to ten seconds. When idle did slow down it would idle erratic and not smooth just touching the throttle would cause the engine to rev to 3000 rpm's. Very difficult to drive at surface street speeds, 40 mph or slower. Problem would go away if engine is turned off for a minute or two! This has happened to me five times since dec. 26 2006. (3) what was done to correct the failure; i.E, parts repaired or replaced: complained to dealer at 12,000 mile inspection. "job: check idle, customer says he has had 4 instances of erratic idle". Dealer checked idle and for codes, nothing done. I also checked with two other dealers to see if they had any reports of high idle problems. They claim they didn't and both said they contacted bmw na.
