Defect SummaryBmw is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 r 1200 and k 1200 series motorcycles manufactured from august 2006 through may 2009. due to the current routing of the front brake lines, it is possible that during riding, and therefore associated vibration. the brake lines could be under strain. if the vibration/strain is significant, the brake line could split and start to develop a leak.
Consequence SummaryIf this goes unnoticed, and the brake fluid reservoir runs empty, the front brakes could fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective SummaryBmw will notify owners and dealers will install new brake lines, containing a sleeve along a portion of the lines free of charge. the safety recall began on september 20, 2010. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

 Fuel gauge stopped responding, leading to running out of fuel while moving. this is a common failure on many bike models from bmw from 2005-2013. i have had this happen 5 times so far, and each time the fuel level measuring strip in the fuel tank was replaced. this is an unsafe condition since loss of engine power from running out of fuel can be quite dangerous on a motorcycle.
