BMW K1200 S Fuel System, Gasoline
BMW K1200 S 2006 Safety Review #10430822
BMW K1200 S 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 26, 2011.BMW K1200 S 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . THE BIKE HAD BEEN SERVICED ABOUT 3 WEEKS BEFORE. I WAS RIDING A 3 MILE TRIP INTO TOWN AND NOTICED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL, THINKING IT WAS THE CAR I WAS BEHIND, HOWEVER IT INCREASED, AND WHEN I GOT TO TOWN, IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT IT WAS COMING FROM MY M CYCLE, AND HAD GOT VERY STRONG. I CALLED THE SERVICE PEOPLE WHO CAME AND TOOK IT AWAY. THERE WAS A FLOW OF FUEL UNDER THE TANK ON THE INSIDE OF THE FAIRING, AND THE SMELL WAS OVERPOWERING. (THE SYSTEM IS ALWAYS POSITIVE PRESSURE, EVEN WHEN NOT ON, APPARENTLY). MY MECHANIC, WHO USED TO BE LEAD MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL BMW M CYCLE SHOP DISCOVERED THAT THEIR WERE FOUR CRACKS AT THE BASE OF THE FLANGE, WHERE THE FUEL FLOWS FROM. IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THEIR IS ONLY A THIN HEAT SHIELD SEPARATING THIS FROM AN OPEN ALTERNATOR, THROWING OUT SPARKS. THE VAPOR COULD VERY EASILY IGNITE. IT WAS REPLACED AT MY COST, BUT THE CYCLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, GARAGED AND ONLY 24000 EASY MILES, BUT THIS FAILED, AND COULD HAVE EXPLODED, THE VAPOR WAS THAT BAD. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL BMW SHOP, THEY EXAMINED THE FAILED PUMP, AND ADVISED ME TO CONTACT BMW SERVICE. I HAVE EMAILED THEM 4 TIMES AND CALLED THEM 4 TIMES SINCE INFORMING THEM OF THE PROBLEM, BUT APART FROM ONE MISSED CALL WITH THEM LAST THURSDAY, I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THEIR SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, HIGH PRESSURE FUEL VAPORS, IF I WAS UNDER HIGH TOURING SPEED FOR INSTANCE, WITH THE PROXIMITY OF THE ALTERNATOR COULD LEAD TO THE CYCLE CATCHING FIRE, EVEN "BLOWING UP". THERE WERE FOUR CRACKS ON THE BASE OF THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE. I THINK THEY WANT TO BLAME ETHANOL, THE LOCAL SHOP SAYS THAT IS THE CASE, BUT THEY HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 1200R SERIES AND REPLACED IT WITH METAL INSTEAD OF PLASTICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS, I AM SURE OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, IT NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND STOPPED. *TR.Mileage was 24000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10591A46Z. Bmw K1200 S 2006 problem was reported in EUGENE, OR. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 20 mph.

BMW K1200 S 2006 car safety problem was reported on July 13, 2012.BMW K1200 S 2006, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I NOTICED THE SMELL OF FUEL IN MY GARAGE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THREE VEHICLES IN IT. I WENT FOR A RIDE THIS PAST WEEK AND AFTER PARKING IT IN THE GARAGE I NOTICE A POOL DO FLUID UNDER THE BIKE. I STOP TO TAKE A LOOK AND IDENTIFY THE FLUID AS GASOLINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT IS THE FUEL PUMP DISCONNECTS THAT ARE LEAKING. THESE CRACKS ARE LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE MOTOR AND ALTERNATOR CREATING A FIRE HAZARD! I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FIRE THAT MOST LIKELY WOULD OF LEAD TO SEVERE BODILY HARM OR DEATH! I AM SURE BMW IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE UPDATED THIS PART ON THEIR NEW BIKES BUT HAVEN'T ISSUED A RECALL. ALL EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT BMW IS AWARE OF THESE INHERENT DESIGN FLAWS IN THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL PUTTING THE PUBLIC AS RISK! I BELIEVE THE NHTSA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION FORCING BMW TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THESE KNOWN ISSUES." *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 14560 miles.

BMW K1200 S 2006 Safety Review #10535433
BMW K1200 S 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 12, 2013.BMW K1200 S 2006, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . FUEL LEAK FROM FUEL TANK FLANGE. THIS COMPLAINT IS THE SAME AS THE OTHERS, NAMELY THE FUEL TANK FLANGE CRACKS AND ALLOWS FUEL LEAKAGE UNDER PRESSURE WHICH ALLOWS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO SPRAY AND SUBSEQUENTLY DRAIN DOWN ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND THEN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND OUT THE BOTTOM. THERE IS A HEAT SHIELD GLUED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK WHICH BECOMES UNGLUED WHEN SATURATED WITH GASOLINE. THIS SHIELD THEN FALLS ONTO THE TOP OF THE ALTERNATOR, THEREBY MAKING CONTACT WITH THE FOIL-SIDE OF THE HEAT SHIELD TO THE ALTERNATOR. IN THE EVENT OF A SPARK FROM THE TWO MATERIALS MAKING CONTACT, THERE WOULD BE A HIGH PROBABILITY OF A FIRE STARTING UNDER THE FUEL TANK. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 25000 miles.
