2005 BMW R1200RT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2005 BMW R1200RT has two recalls, both involving the fuel system: one where a cracked fuel pump flange can leak fuel when the engine is running, creating a fire risk, and one where a pinched fuel tank hose can deform the tank and jam the steering lock. On the fuel leak side, cracks can develop in the fuel pump or auxiliary pump flange, allowing fuel to escape once the system is pressurized. In the presence of any ignition source, that leak can lead to a fire. The second recall involves a bleed hose that may have been pinched during assembly, preventing the fuel tank from venting properly. The resulting tank deformation can press against the steering lock mechanism and cause the steering to lock up.
