Recalls
BMW Recall (#2009268)
Models Involved: 2007-2009 R1200GS
Number of Vehicles: 469
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the
fuel pump control unit may be subject to water intrusion which, in time, will
cause it to fail. Engine stalling
would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road
conditions, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel
pump control unit.
BMW Recall (#2009272)
Models Involved: 2007-2009 R1200RTP
Number of Vehicles: 51
Problem:
On certain motorcycles, vibrations that occur while riding
could cause the front brake lines to develop leaks, allowing brake fluid to
escape. Brake fluid leakage could
eventually result in a loss of front braking capability, which could cause a
vehicle crash with personal injury or death.
Correction: Dealers will replace the front brake hoses with updated
versions.

Number of Vehicles: 84
Problem: On certain motorcycles, a fuel hose may become disconnected
from the fuel pump assembly.Any
loss of fuel pressure would cause engine stalling which, in conjunction with
traffic and road conditions, and the rider’s reactions, could increase the risk
of a crash.
Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace and reposition the fuel hose retaining clamp.
Ducati Recall (#2009275)
Models Involved: 2010 F1098S Streetfighter
Number of Vehicles: 25
Problem: On certain motorcycles, improper tightening of the Engine Control Unit (ECU) ground screw during vehicle assembly could cause intermittent erratic operation and engine stalling.

Correction: Dealers will tighten the ECU ground screw.
