“On march 11, 2017 my motorcycle stalled while I was riding in traffic and never wanted to start again. I pulled over and had to get the bike towed on a truck back home. It became apparent that the electronic fuel control unit had malfunctioned due to the pooling of fuel around it. The fuel pump flange developed some cracks and thus allowed the fuel to leak thru. Cracks can be seen in the attached photos 1, 2, 3, and 4. The leaking fuel pooled on top of the fuel pump flange and eroded the epoxy or plastic filling inside the electronic fuel pump control unit thus caused the unit to fail. …”
NHTSA complaint #10980973, filed 2017-04, 9,946 miles“After refueling to a full tank, fuel visible at top of filler neck, the motorcycle was driven home 1 mile and parked in garage. Went to start the bike the next day and the bike would not start. There was a very strong fuel odor in the garage. I took the seat off and inspected the fuel vent hoses and charcoal canister. There was a visible puddle of fuel on top of the fuel pump, covering all the electrical connections, and on the floor. This is an obvious fire risk so I took it to the dealer. They replaced the fuel pump electronics due to fuel filling the fuel tank pump electronics compartment. …”
NHTSA complaint #10559039, filed 2014-01, 14,230 miles“Fuel leaking from around fuel pump assembly resulted in electronic fuel pump module being soaked in fuel which caused catastrophic failure of the fuel pump assy and potential fire hazard. This appears to be similar to a recall affecting 2005 - 2012 Bmw bikes. Nhtsa campaign number: 13v617000.”
