AS I WAS DOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I NOTICED SEVERAL SMALL CRACKS ON THE "FLANGE" WHERE THE QUICK DISCONNECT EXITS THE TANK. I USED A RING CLAMP TO CLOSE THE CRACKS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS, SINCE LEAKING GASOLINE COULD EASILY RUN DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF THE TANK AND END UP ON HOT ENGINE/EXHAUST PARTS, CAUSING A FIRE... *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29500 miles.

BMW R1200 RT 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 19, 2012.BMW R1200 RT 2007, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . TRAVELING ON I-44 EAST OF JOPLIN MO. SIGNIFICANT ODOR OF GASOLINE. FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY AND SAW FUEL DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE LEFT FAIRING PANEL. REMOVED THE PANEL TO FIND PUDDLES OF GAS IN THE FAIRING RECESS AND THE FUEL PUMP RECESS. WIPED IT ALL UP AND TURNED ON THE KEY, WHICH STARTED THE PUMP AND A STRONG STREAM OF FUEL WAS PUMPED OUT FROM A SERIOUS CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP PLATE AT THE FUEL LINE FITTING. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS UNSAFE TO RIDE SO I CALLED FOR A TRAILER, TRAILERED THE BIKE TO KANSAS CITY, MO AND ENGLE MOTORS. THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP ASSY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $621.52. THERE IS NO QUESTION I WAS VERY LUCKY THE MOTORCYCLE DIDN'T CATCH FIRE WHILE I WAS RIDING IT. I CALLED AND FILED A COMPLAINT TO BMW WITH NO RESPONSE. I HAVE RECEIPTS TO PROVE THE FAILURE AND WITNESSES. BMW NEEDS TO OWN THIS FAILURE AND RECALL ALL THESE MACHINES TO INSURE NO ONE DIES AS A RESULT OF THIS. CALLING THIS A FIRE HAZARD IS UNDERSTATING THE PROBLEM. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 82474 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):WB10388067Z.

BMW R1200 RT 2007 car safety problem was reported on June 25, 2013.BMW R1200 RT 2007, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . WHILE I WAS BACKING MY MOTORCYCLE INTO THE GARAGE I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. AS I DISMOUNTED I NOTICED A LIQUID DRIPPING ON THE GROUND NEXT TO THE LEFT EXHAUST PIPE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE GASOLINE. I REMOVED THE BODY PANELS TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF FUEL ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED FUEL LEAKING FROM THE BOSS THAT HOLDS THE FEMALE FUEL LINE QUICK DISCONNECT. I REMOVED THE FEMALE QUICK DISCONNECT AND REAPPLIED FUEL RESISTANT SEALANT TO IT AND LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT, THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I RECONNECTED THE FUEL LINE AND PRESSURIZED THE SYSTEM. IT STILL LEAKED ONLY WORSE NOW. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TIGHTEN THE FITTING A BIT GAS ACTUALLY SQUIRTED OUT OF THE JOINT BETWEEN THE FITTING AND THE BOSS. THIS CAUSED ME TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER AND DISCOVER THAT THE WERE 4 TO 5 SMALL CRACKS IN THE BOSS ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WHERE THE FUEL PRESSURE LINE FEMALE QUICK DISCONNECT SCREWS IN. BEING THAT THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY SITS ABOUT THE LEFT EXHAUST PIPE WHERE IT COMES OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD A GAS LEAK FROM THIS AREA IS A FIRE HAZARD. I SHUDDER TO THINK OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF ONE OF THOSE DROPS OF GASOLINE HAD DRIPPED ON MY EXHAUST PIPE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 36000 miles.

BMW R1200 RT 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2010.BMW R1200 RT 2007, manufactured by BMW of North America, LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . SIRS, I AM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER/OWNER OF A BMW R1200RT MOTORCYCLE, VIN# [XXX]. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR (PART # 16147675547 - SENSOR AND # 16117677883 - GASKET) THREE TIMES ALREADY. NOW IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IT HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN 6 YEARS. I CONTACTED MY DEALER (BMW MOTORCYCLES OF COUNTRYSIDE IL) AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER [XXX]. [XXX] INFORMED THAT MY LAST FUEL SENSOR REPLACEMENT WAS 27 MONTHS AGO AND THEREFORE IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (24 MONTH), DESPITE IT HAVING FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MOTORCYCLE HAS LESS THAN 14,000 MILES ON IT. HE THEN ESTIMATED IT WOULD COST ME $350 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. IF THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, I WOULD UNHAPPILY PAY THE $350 AND ATTRIBUTE IT TO THE MOTORCYCLE BEING 7 YEARS OLD AS THE MILEAGE IS NEGLIGIBLE. BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THIS PART HAS REPEATEDLY FAILED. [XXX] ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND RECURRENT PROBLEM. MY OWN RESEARCH INDICATES THAT MULTITUDES OF BMW R1200 MODEL MOTORCYCLE OWNERS HAVE ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE AND REPETITIVE FUEL SENSOR FAILURES FOR MANY YEARS. THIS ISSUE IS DOCUMENTED UNDER NHTSA ID # 10033130 AND BMW SERVICE BULLETIN NO. SIB-16-02-09. THIS R1200RT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE MOTORCYCLE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I FIND IT UNCONSCIONABLE THAT BMW EXPECTS ME TO PAY THE FULL REPLACEMENT COST OF A PART THAT HAS REQUIRED MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS OVER THE COURSE OF 14,000 MILES, A PART THAT OBVIOUSLY IS THE SUBJECT OF AN INHERENT DESIGN/MANUFACTURING FLAW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10000 miles.
