BMW Motorrad R Series: Engine May Cut Out
BMW Motorrad is recalling 668 R Series motorcycles because water can seep into the fuel pump electronics cavity, corroding the electrical contacts and causing the fuel pump to fail intermittently, which may cause the engine to stall. The fix involves installing a new O-ring seal under the fuel pump and replacing the fuel pump unit if necessary. This recall affects motorcycles distributed in the United Kingdom.
