The 2012 BMW K 1600 GTL has 2 recalls, both involving fuel pump leaks that can allow fuel to escape near ignition sources and start a fire.
One recall covers motorcycles where a prior repair used a support ring fix but the fuel pump itself was never replaced; that pump can still leak. The other covers a separate issue where the fuel pump can crack during normal operation and leak fuel. Both defects carry the same real-world risk: fuel escaping onto hot engine components or near a spark can ignite.
