BMW R 1200 GS 2008 Safety Review #10417320
BMW R 1200 GS 2008 car safety problem was reported on July 29, 2011.BMW R 1200 GS 2008, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . A PLASTIC FLANGE ON THE FUEL PUMP CRACKED ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK. THE FLANGE CONTAINS AN INTERNAL THREAD THAT SECURES ONE OF THE FUEL LINES. SEVERAL CRACKS ARE VISIBLE AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE FLANGE. CRACKS, IN MY OPINION, APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO OVER-TORQUE AT ASSEMBLY AND/OR MATERIAL DEGRADATION DUE TO THE COMBINED EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FUEL, TIME AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK THAT IS POSITIONED DIRECTLY ABOVE THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST PIPE. FORTUNATELY THE VOLUME OF LEAKED FUEL WAS SMALL (<1 FL OZ) AND WAS CONTAINED WITHIN A DEPRESSED CAVITY ON THE TOP OF THE PUMP, OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE DRIPPED ONTO THE HOT ENGINE AND EXHAUST HEADER POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22569 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10313028Z. Bmw R 1200 Gs 2008 problem was reported in CHANDLER, AZ. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.
