BMW K1200 LT 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 08, 2009.BMW K1200 LT 2005, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . DURING A 12,000 MILE SERVICE, I WAS ADVISED BY A BMW SERVICE ADVISOR TO REPLACE THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE CONNECTORS ON MY 2005 BMW K1200LT MOTORCYCLE WITH METAL FUEL LINE CONNECTORS. THE REASON WAS THAT THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S EQUIPMENT OCCASIONALLY FAILS; AND THE COST TO ME TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINE CONNECTORS WAS MORE THAN $200. I DECLINED THE PURCHASE. WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA DESERT, THE CONNECTOR FAILED AND SPRAYED GASOLINE ON THE MOTORCYCLE AND ON ME. I WAS AFRAID OF FIRE AND HAD THE MOTORCYCLE HAULED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I PAID $450 TO TOW THE MOTORCYCLE AND $236.84 TO REPLACE THE FUEL QUICK RELEASE CONNECTORS. BMW IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND IS ATTEMPTING TO SELL THE CORRECTION RATHER THAN RECALLING AND REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART. I PAID TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINE CONNECTORS AFTER THEY FAILED. MY SAFETY WAS ENDANGERED AS A RESULT OF BMW'S ACTIONS. *TR.Mileage was 15191 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10559A05Z. Bmw K1200 Lt 2005 problem was reported in FAIR OAKS, CA.
