• Fuel leak - motorcycle investigation # PE12036

  Owners of model year (my) 2005-2008 r-series motorcycles report substantial, high pressure fuel loss occurring when the fuel pump is energized.Many times they first become aware of the problem when fuel soaks their pant legs or is puddled under their parked motorcycle.The office of defects investigation (odi) has obtained an owner video illustrating the issue.This video, and other material, may be found in the public file at www.Safercar.Gov. Odi has learned that the subject fuel leak is due to cracks in the fuel outlet quick connector located on the in-tank fuel pump housing.While some owners, reluctant to incur the expense to replace the fuel pump assembly, have undertaken frequently ineffective do-it-yourself repairs primarily involving adhesive patches, two other remedies are available.The first, found in the after-market, is an aluminum clamp designed to reinforce the fuel outlet threaded flange.The second is bmw?S own remedy, appearing in early 2011, following introduction of the aftermarket clamp.It, too, involves a metal collar designed to support the fuel outlet threaded flange.In january 2004 bmw conducted safety recall 04v028 involving 2000 to 2004 model year k and r series motorcycles for a pressurized fuel leak.In this case an o-ring in a fuel line quick connector could become damaged and bmw identified the potential for fire as a consequence of this failure.In its recall, influenced by an odi investigation (pe03-054), bmw judged the fire risk to be low and the fuel loss to be insignificant -- occurring most often during cold starts -- resulting most often from improper servicing of the fuel line quick connector by its dealers. All of the complaints and warranty claims referenced in this resume involve verified fuel leaks rather than owners simply expressing a concern that a leak may develop in their subject motorcycle. With summer approaching and seasonal motorcycle usage increasing, odi has upgraded pe12-036 to ea13-006 to further evaluate this issue, monitor fuel leak frequency, and determine the risk associated with the alleged fuel leaks.The odi reports cited above can be reviewed at: http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following complaint identification numbers: 540232, 765847, 10074376, 10159252, 10236289, 10339245, 10356156, 10417320, 10425962, 10430734, 10430822, 10432269, 10433589, 10433733, 10436885, 10437222, 10442023, 10443840, 10444670, 10444742, 10444876, 10445888, 10445954, 10448104, 10448104, 10448325, 10448592, 10449393, 10451907, 10452476, 10453738, 10460566, 10463408, 10463946, 10467136, 10470251, 10471518, 10471642, 10474390, 10475150, 10474390, 10475150, 10480052, 10480834, 10485274, 10485276, 10485292, 10485337, 10485348, 10485351, 10485376, 10485434, 10485452, 10485783, 10485789, 10485796, 10485807, 10485882, 10487501, 10487624, 10488652, 10488899, 10490417, 10490868, 10491835, 10492118, 10492342, 10492961, 10493015, 10493320, 10494927, 10494899, 10495307, 10496593, 10503488, 10503806, 10504130, 10504324, 10508135, 10508150

A fuel leak around at the fuel pump flange. Leaking around the support ring installed by the previous remedy. I contacted a dealer several times, but they have been unable to remedy due to no parts since april 2021. I also contacted [email protected] and they said "at this time the remedy for the recall: 20v-471 is available; however, the parts are on backorder for all models. We currently don't have an eta we can provide." bmw has failed to prepare sufficient replacement parts and they are unable to remedy for 20v-471 in a timely manner.

Fuel gauge stopped responding, leading to the possibility of running out of fuel while moving. This is a common failure on many bike models from bmw from 2005-2013. I have had this happen 3 times so far, and each time the fuel level measuring strip in the fuel tank was replaced. This is an unsafe condition since loss of engine power from running out of fuel can be quite dangerous on a motorcycle.

Final drive bearing suddenly developed play (wheel can be moved laterally by hand). Very unstable handling and wobble upon deceleration due to wheel movement. Vehicle will "shimmy" considerably from side-to-side upon engine braking.

When i began a ride the red abs brake failure warning light came on and remained on. A shop read the code to determine the cause as abs pump motor failure. I learned through on-line research that it is a common problem relating to poor design of the abs pump motor brushes that fail to make good contact resulting in a low voltage situation and pump failure. The result - the abs system does not work. The estimated cost of replacing the unit is approx. $2200. The mechanic tapped on the motor housing and freed up the brushes but it was a temporary fix that lasted about 200 miles. It then became an intermittent problem for about 400 miles before it went back to being the constant problem that i am now forced to fix or ride without abs brakes. This is a well known and documented problem but bmw has not admitted any problems related to design of the unit. The problem appears to be in the way the brushes slide in a grooved guide or key way . Apparently the grooves get dirty and the brushes hang up and don't reach the proper position for good contact with the motor armature if i understand it correctly. Modulemaster in moscow, idaho, rebuilds the units and provides a 5 yr guarantee. They seem to be quite busy with these units. My mechanic actually sent in 2 of them at the same time. The second unit was from a gs model. And there are other models experiencing the same issue. It is my opinion that nhtsa needs to take a look at this issue and cause bmw to fix the poor design and eliminate the problem of abs failure. Documented evidence of the scope of the problem can be found through sites such as forums.Bmwmoa.Org, www.Xs-adventure.Com, www.I-bmw.Com.

Rear drive assembly oil leaking affecting tires traction and braking - loss of rear brakes from oil and no abs active. *tr

The motorcycle started stalling after i would disengage the clutch to slow down or stop. It would not start back up unless i turned the throttle and held the rpm's above 1500. The bike would not idle unless i kept the throttle partially open. I brought the bike to the dealer and they re-flashed the computer and up-graded the software. That lasted 2 weeks and the stalling started back again. All re-calls for this bike were performed by bmw. No trouble codes were shown to exist on the bikes ecu when tested by the dealers scan equipment. I have since replaced: spark plugs, idle actuators (2), cam position sensor, fuel pump controller, fuel pump, and battery. The motorcycle has a little over 32,000 miles on it now. Some of the parts replaced did cure the stalling problem temporarily, but it always came back. I have since parked the motorcycle because the stalling scares me and my girlfriend when it unexpectedly happens in traffic. It is absolutely dangerous! I know from reading posts online from fellow bmw motorcycle owners that many others who own the r 1200rt made from 2005-2009 have this same stalling problem. As far as i know bmw has not re-called my year and model bike to force the dealers to fix this problem.
