BMW K1200RS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 26, 2004.BMW K1200RS 2002, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with TIRES . ROAD DEFECT ON BRIDGE ON I-70 WHERE IT CROSSES I-270 JUST WEST OF ST. LOUIS, MO. DRIVING IN THE RAIN WE HIT A METAL JOINT THAT RUNS LENGTHWISE WITH THE BRIDGE IN THE RIGHT TIRE GROOVE OF THE LEFT HAND LANE. BEING RECESSED INTO THE ROAD, BEING METAL, AND NOT VISIBLE UNTIL WITHIN ABOUT 40 FEET OF THE OBJECT, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS AND IN OUR CASE RETAIN CONTROL OF A MOTORCYCLE WHEN IT IS RAINING. JUST SOME APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT. THE TOWING COMPANY TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE MANY MOTORCYCLE CRASHES AT THIS LOCATION EVERY TIME IT RAINS. I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP SOMEONE ELSE FROM HAVING THE SAME RESULTS AS WE DID. THANK YOU *AK.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 2 person(s) were injured.

BMW K1200RS 2002 Safety Review #10154607

BMW K1200RS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Mar 06, 2006.BMW K1200RS 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT . ON MARCH 6, 2006, I STARTED RIDING MY 2002 BMW K1200RS AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR END OF THE MOTORCYCLE FELT NOT QUITE RIGHT. STOPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I CHECKED AIR PRESSURE, LUG NUTS TIGHT AND LOOKED FOR ANY FLUID LEAKS. EVERYTHING APPEARED OK. I ALSO GRABBED THE REAR TIRE TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS ANY PLAY IN THE REAR END. THERE WAS NONE. I CONTINUED ON. A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE MOTORCYCLE BECAME VERY UNSTABLE AND IT FELT LIKE THE REAR WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO COME OFF. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE MOTORCYCLE STOPPED WITHOUT CRASHING. I THEN NOTICED FLUID LEAKING ALL OVER THE REAR END OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND ON THE REAR WHEEL AND REAR BRAKE. THE FLUID WAS CLEARLY LEAKING OUT OF THE REAR DRIVE. THE MILEAGE ON MY MOTORCYCLE WAS JUST OVER 33,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE RIDER BEHIND ME TOLD ME THAT IT LOOKED LIKE MY REAR WHEEL WAS GOING TO FALL OFF. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS PUT ON A TRAILER AND TAKEN TO BMW OF FORT WORTH WHERE THE REAR END WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND REAR ABS SENSOR. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THE FT. WORTH DEALERSHIP HAD A REPLACEMENT REAR IN STOCK. IN FACT THEY TOLD ME THE REAR DRIVE HAD BEEN ORDERED FOR ANOTHER CUSTOMER WITH A REAR DRIVE FAILURE. THE COST OF THE REPAIRS WAS JUST OVER $1,500. BMW HAS SEVERAL MODEL OF MOTORCYCLE THAT USE THE SAME TYPE OF REAR DRIVE. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS FAILURES OF THIS DRIVE ON ALL MODELS OF MOTORCYCLE USING THIS TYPE OF REAR DRIVE. BMW IS WELL AWARE OF THESE FAILURES AND HAS EVEN STUDIED THE PROBLEM. SOME OF THE FAILURES BMW HAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SOME IT HAS NOT. THE REAL ISSUE HERE IS NOT THE WARRANTY COVERAGE BUT THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN A REAR DRIVE FAILURE OCCURS, IT COMES WITHOUT WARNING AND MAKES THE MOTORCYCLE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. BMW IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS THUS FAR REFUSED TO RECALL MOTORCYCLES WITH THIS TYPE OF REAR DRIVE. *NM.Mileage was 33200 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10557A62Z.

BMW K1200RS 2002 Safety Review #10280042

BMW K1200RS 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 15, 2009.BMW K1200RS 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . MALE END OF FUEL QUICK DISCONNECT BROKE, SPRAYING FUEL. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER, THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS COMMON, AND THAT MINE HAD A PLASTIC MALE END, AND THAT A REPLACEMENT MALE END WAS AVAILABLE FOR TWENTY SOMETHING DOLLARS AND WAS BEING USED AS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ON LATER MODEL BIKES.. FOR ME THIS ENDED WELL. I NOTICED IT AS I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE GARAGE. THERE ARE TWO QUICK DISCONNECTS AND I PLAN ON REPLACING BOTH MALE ENDS WITH THE NEW IMPROVED MODELS. MINE ALSO DID NOT BREAK OFF ENTIRELY, BUT CRACKED AND SPRAYED A THIN STREAM OF FUEL THROUGH HOLE IN THE BODY WORK. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER HOWEVER, SINCE BOTH CONNECTORS ARE BEHIND BODY WORK. AND ARE LIKELY TO FILL THE BELLY PAN WITH FUEL WITH AN ENSUING FIRE, PARTICULARLY IF THE END BREAKS OFF ENTIRELY. MY BIKE HAS ALWAYS BEEN RIDDEN CONSERVATIVELY ON PAVED ROADS: I DON'T THINK THAT THE DISCONNECTS WERE SUBMITTED TO ANY UNUSUAL STRESS. I SUSPECT FATIGUE AND AGING OF THE PLASTIC CONTRIBUTED TO ITS FAILURE. I THINK THAT FROM READING THE SHOP MANUAL, THAT THE QUICK DISCONNECTS ARE A FEATURE ADDED IN AROUND THE YEAR 2000. OLDER MODELS DID NOT HAVE THEM. THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE BIKES FOR BAD O RINGS IN THE QUICK DISCONNECTS. I SUSPECT THAT THE PLASTIC DISCONNECTS ARE A BAD BIT OF WORK, AND FAIRLY DANGEROUS, UNDERENGINEERED.. *TR.Mileage was 14000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10554A21Z. Bmw K1200rs 2002 problem was reported in RENO, NV. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 2 mph.

BMW K1200RS 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 16, 2009.BMW K1200RS 2002, manufactured by BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE IS WITHIN A FUEL LINE COUPLING SYSTEM. THE O-RINGS WITHIN THE COUPLING SYSTEM, WHICH HELP TO SEAL THE COUPLING, WERE EATEN AWAY AND GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT OF THE COUPLING. THIS LEAKING SPRAY OCCURS WHENEVER THE MACHINE IS TURNED ON, OR RUNNING, AS THE FUEL PUMP JUST KEEPS PUMPING FUEL OUT OF THE LEAK. CONSEQUENCES COULD BE A FIRE IF THE LEAK HAPPENS AT SPEED OUT ON THE ROAD, AND THE OPERATOR IS UNAWARE THAT THE GASOLINE IS BEING SPRAYED ALL OVER THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS OF YET-I AM RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM FOR A COMPETENT FIX. *TR.Mileage was 42863 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10557A92Z.

BMW K1200RS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 09, 2013.BMW K1200RS 2002, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . STARTED MY BMW K1200RS AND BACKED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE. NOTICED A SPRAY EMANATING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE ABOVE THE VALVE COVE. SHUT THE BIKE DOWN AND CHECKED FOR THE LEAK. FOUND THAT THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE QUICK DISCONNECT COUPLING WAS CRACKED ALLOWING FUEL TO SPRAY OUT IN A FINE MIST. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUGHT FIRE IF THE BIKE HAD BEEN HOT. CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS FAILURE IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON BMW MOTORCYCLES AND IS NOT LIMITED TO MY MODEL OR YEAR. BMW HAS NOT SEEN FIT TO RECALL THE AFFECTED MOTORCYCLES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE REDESIGNED THE COUPLING. THE FUEL LINE IS PRESSURIZED AT 100PSI SO THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CATASTROPHIC EVENT IS HIGH. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.

BMW K1200RS 2002 car safety problem was reported on May 09, 2013.BMW K1200RS 2002, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO MY FIRST REPORT OF THIS DATE. BMW APPARENTLY CONDUCTED A RECALL (04V-028) FOR LEAKS WITH THIS COUPLING, HOWEVER THE RECALL ADDRESSED LEAKS FROM THE QUICK DISCONNECT O-RING AND THE HOSE CLAMPS. IN THIS CASE THE BODY OF THE PLASTIC MALE END OF THE COUPLING INITIALLY CRACKS AND THEN SEPARATES ALLOWING FUEL UNDER 100 PSI TO FLOW DOWN THE ENGINE AND THEN TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE BIKE. THERE WAS ONE REPORT OF A FIRE AND AN INJURY FROM THE PREVIOUS RECALL. HERE WE HAVE A LEAK OCCURRING FROM THE SAME FITTING WITH THE SAME POTENTIAL. INITIALLY BMW REPLACED THIS FITTING WITH THE SAME ORIGINAL PART ONLY TO FIND THAT THE FITTING FAILED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PLAGUE BMW RIDERS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT APPEARS THAT THE NTSB'S INITIAL INVESTIGATION WAS SUSPENDED WHEN THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO A RECALL BACK IN THE 2004/5 TIME FRAME, THUS THE PARTICULARS OF THIS PROBLEM WHERE NOT FORTHCOMING, AND THE FULL NATURE OF THE DEFECT NOT ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30000 miles.
