Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Throttle sticks on my Bmw k1200gt motorcycle. Very well known issue. In my opinion it should be a safety recall for all of these motorcycles. Doesn't appear that Bmw has a fix for it. Mine has been worked on three times under warranty and still has the same symptom.”
NHTSA complaint #10383344, filed 2011-02, 14,000 miles“Fuel strip failure for second time after Bmw extended warranty to 12 years after original date of purchase. This is a safety issue because the low fuel light remains on constantly. Could cause a crash if the motorcycle were to run out of fuel.”
NHTSA complaint #10955425, filed 2017-02, 42,000 miles“2007 bmw1200gt with 15,000 miles runs good however engine has stalled four times in one week when coming to stop ' occurs while gearing down for stop and when shifting up. Once while turning and downshifting between 3rd to 2nd cut out and nearly lost the bike. Searched web and problem is pervasive -- when will you act and I will contact congressman, senator and california consumer bureau.”
NHTSA complaint #10319615, filed 2010-03, 15,211 miles“Fuel line connection failed causing gas to spill all over the inside of the motorcycle and on the ground. In my opinion this could have easily caused a serious safety issue due to a possible gasoline fire.”
NHTSA complaint #10425622, filed 2011-09, 34,600 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Bmw k1200gt motorcycle. The contact stated that although there was not a visible fuel leak, he detected a fuel leak and took the vehicle to a local mechanic. The mechanic advised that the failure was contributed to the fuel pump assembly. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.”
