BMW R1200 R 2011 Safety Review #10498401
BMW R1200 R 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 06, 2011.BMW R1200 R 2011, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . THE BMW R1200R MOTORCYCLES IS EQUIPPED WITH A FUEL GAUGE. THE GAUGE VERY COMMONLY FAILS, ALLOWING THE OPERATOR TO BELIEVE HE/SHE HAS SUFFICIENT FUEL TO CONTINUE. IN MY CASE, I WAS ACCELERATING WHILE ENTERING A CONGESTED FREEWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY RAN WHOLLY OUT OF FUEL. I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND, AND NEARLY CAUSED A REACTION ACCIDENT COMPOSED OF CARS BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO SUDDENLY STOP AND/OR EVADE CONTACT WITH OTHER VEHICLES SLOWING DUE TO MY INABILITY TO KEEP UP IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED MY FAULTY FUEL GAUGE ISSUE IS VERY VERY COMMON.... AFFECTING A VERY SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF BMW R1200R MOTORCYCLES. WHILE THE FAULTY GAUGE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED BY BMW (IF THE BIKE IS UNDER WARRANTY), THE REPLACEMENT FUEL SENSOR STRIP (THE FAULTY PART) IS OF THE SAME STYLE AS THE ORIGINAL FUEL SENSOR STRIP. THUS, THE "REPAIR" IS NOT NECESSARILY A GUARANTEED FIX, MANDATING THAT MANY R1200R OWNERS HAVE TO MAKE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO A BMW DEALER TO PERHAPS, AND FINALLY, RECEIVE A FUEL SENSOR STRIP THAT ACTUALLY IS FUNCTIONAL. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1322 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB1049000BZ. Bmw R1200 R 2011 problem was reported in CONNERSVILLE, IN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 68 mph.
