Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: Bmw is recalling 1,391 my 2007 g650x challenge, country, and moto motorcycles. The fuel lines may have been damaged during production, and could develop a leak. The leak could occur either through the fabric inlay at the end of the line, or, through a crack in the actual line.
Risk: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel lines free of charge. The recall began during april 2008. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
Suspension:rear
Problem: Bmw is recalling 744 my 2007 g650x challenger and country motorcycles. The motorcycles may have had the wrong circular clip installed on the left hand side of the rear wheel bearing guide. This circlip can rub against a spacer bushing, creating metal shavings which may enter the wheel bearing, causing it to fail and the antilock brake system (abs) may malfunction. This would be indicated by illumination of the abs warning lamp.
Risk: If this happened, the brakes would remain fully available to slow and stop the motorcycle. Depending on traffic and road conditions as well as a rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will check and install a correct circlip, along with a new spacer bushing, wheel bearings, and shaft sealing rings free of charge. The recall began during april 2008. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the fuel pump wiring set has not been manufactured according to specification. The contacts in the plug for the fuel pump can break.
Risk: The fuel pump will fail and fuel delivery to the engine would cease causing the engine to stall increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pump unit wiring set free of charge. The recall began on october 1, 2007. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
Engine and engine cooling:engine
Problem: On certain motorcycles, a left-side chain tensioner has been incorrectly installed on the right side. As a result, a hex nut, which is used to secure the chain tensioner, is improperly seated against the tensioner.
Risk: Loosening of the chain tensioner and the rear wheel axle may occur. This could lead to a condition in which the motorcycle is unstable, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will install a new right side chain tensioner free of charge. The recall began on november 13, 2007. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
