BMW R 1200 ST 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 08, 2010.BMW R 1200 ST 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . REAR BRAKE DRAG - MY 2007 BMW R1200ST MOTORCYCLE HAD THE REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED AT THE 18,000 MILE SERVICE. THE FRONT PADS STILL HAVE WELL OVER 50% MATERIAL REMAINING. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PREMATURE WEAR ON THE REAR PADS, SO I TOOK MY MOTORCYCLE FOR A SHORT RIDE (LESS THAN 5 MILES). UPON RETURNING, THE FRONT BRAKE DISKS AND CALIPERS WERE COOL, BUT THE REAR DISK AND CALIPER WERE BOTH TOO HOT TO TOUCH. IN ADDITION TO WASTING FUEL, THE DRAGGING REAR BRAKE COULD LEAD TO A FIRE IF ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS WERE PRESENT. A REVIEW OF ON-LINE BMW MOTORCYCLE FORUMS REVEALS THAT SEVERAL OTHER INDIVIDUALS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AND EXCESSIVE DISK AND CALIPER TEMPERATURES. *TR.Mileage was 18000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB103380X7Z. Bmw R 1200 St 2007 problem was reported in WILLIAMSVILLE, NY. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

BMW R 1200 ST 2007 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2012.BMW R 1200 ST 2007, manufactured by BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . THE FUEL PUMP ON MY R 1200 ST MOTORCYCLE IS MOUNTED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK AND PROVIDES FUEL UNDER PRESSURE TO THE PRESSURE REGULATOR. FUEL EXITS THE TANK THROUGH A QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING SCREWED INTO THE PLATE ON WHICH THE FUEL PUMP IS MOUNTED. DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION I NOTICED CRACKS AROUND THE THREADED HOLE THAT THE QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING SCREWS INTO. BOTH THE QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING AND THE PLATE WITH THE THREADED HOLE ARE PLASTIC. IF THE CRACKS CONTINUE TO GROW, FUEL UNDER PRESSURE WILL LEAK ONTO MYSELF AND HOT ENGINE PARTS, CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE AND INJURY. THE PARTS IN QUESTION ARE USED ON NUMEROUS OTHER BMW MOTORCYCLE MODELS, INCLUDING THE OTHER R 1200 MODELS, K 1200 MODELS, AND K 1300 MODELS..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29000 miles.
