BMW K1200 S 2007 Safety Review #10349961
BMW K1200 S 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 09, 2010.BMW K1200 S 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS A STALLING ISSUE THAT OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. I CONSIDER IT VERY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE IS VERY DIFFICULT TO START AFTER STALLING AND LEAVES THE OPERATOR VULNERABLE TO BE RUN DOWN FROM BEHIND. IT USUALLY OCCURS AS YOU PULL IN THE CLUTCH WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. *TR.Mileage was 15349 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10591A37Z. Bmw K1200 S 2007 problem was reported in SIOUX FALLS, SD. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 10 mph.

BMW K1200 S 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 04, 2012.BMW K1200 S 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with ENGINE . I WAS PREPARING TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE AIRBOX, A PROBLEM THAT BMW STILL REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR EVEN THOUGH BMW HAS UPDATED THE PART IN LATER MODEL YEARS, THAT WAS CAUSING ERRATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE THROTTLE CONTROL WHICH MADE THE BIKE UNSAFE TO RIDE WHEN I NOTICED CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK. THESE CRACKS ARE LEAKING FUEL ONTO THE MOTOR AND ALTERNATOR CREATING A FIRE HAZARD! I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS WOULD OF EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A FIRE THAT MOST LIKELY WOULD OF LEAD TO SEVERE BODILY HARM OR DEATH! IT APPEARS BMW IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ALSO AS THEY HAVE UPDATED THIS PART AS WELL 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 9354 miles.

BMW K1200 S 2007 Safety Review #10543402
BMW K1200 S 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 04, 2013.BMW K1200 S 2007, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I COULD SMELL A VERY SLIGHT HINT OF RAW FUEL, FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A FOULED SPARK PLUG, SO I DECIDED TO LIMIT USE OF THE BIKE UNTIL I COULD GET THE PLUGS REPLACED. I WAS RIDING THE BIKE TO MY LOCAL STORAGE, LESS THAN 3 MILES WHEN I STOPPED AT THE GATE TO ENTER THE CODE I NOTICED THAT THE SMELL HAD BECOME VERY STRONG, I PULLED UP TO MY UNIT AND NOTICE A LARGE QUANTITY OF FLUID RUNNING OUT FROM INSIDE THE BIKE, AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS COOLANT THEN I REALIZED IT WAS FUEL AND SHUT THE BIKE DOWN. I CALLED THE BMW SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF AT LEAST TWO OTHER BIKES WITH A FUEL LEAK ISSUE, I STARTED TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT A FEMALE QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING ONCE INSTALLED STARTS TO CRACK THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE. I HAVE REMOVED THE TANK AND FOUND SEVERE CRACKING AROUND THE QUICK DISCONNECT, AS IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECT BY OTHER BMW K1200 S&R BIKE OWNERS ALSO IT SEEMS THAT BMW IS POSSIBLY AWARE OF THIS AND HAVE YET TO DO A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN THAT I KNOW OF, MY REASONING FOR THIS IS THAT THEY (BMW) APPARENTLY HAVE STARTED TO REINFORCE THE OPENING FOR THAT FITTING WITH A METAL GUSSET TO PREVENT THE CRACKING AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THAT'S HOW THE REPLACEMENT PART COMES. I FEEL PRETTY LUCKY THAT THE UNIT DID NOT CATCH FIRE. I HAVE ORDERED NEW PARTS, TO THE TUNE OF $800.00 THAT INCLUDES A NEW HEAT SHIELD BECAUSE THE ONE ON THE BIKE IS SATURATED WITH FUEL. THE TANK SITS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE GENERATOR, THIS LEAK IS NOT STATIC IT HAPPENS WHEN THE UNIT IS UNDER POWER. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10591A37Z. Bmw K1200 S 2007 problem was reported in SAN DIEGO, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.
