THE FUEL TANK FLANGES HAVE DEVELOPED CRACKS AND NOW GASOLINE LEAKS ONTO THE MOTOR WHILE DRIVING. THE MOTORCYCLE HAS FLANGES ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE, BOTH SIDES HAVE THE CRACKS AND THEY ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION. THE CRACKS EXTEND FROM WHERE THE GAS FITTINGS ARE ATTACHED.

ON OCTOBER 3, 2009, WHILE RIDING MY 2007 BMW R1200GS ADVENTURE, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC ON A STATE HIGHWAY HEAR MY HOME FORCING ME TO PULL OFF ONTO A VERY NARROW SHOULDER (WESTERN NC, MOUNTAIN ROADS) AND STOP WITH TRAFFIC PASSING ME BY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT FROM MY LEFT SIDE. THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. EVENTUALLY IT DID RESTART AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY FIFTY YARDS BEFORE THE ENGINE AGAIN STOPPED. THIS ALLOWED ME TO GET TO A WIDER SECTION OF SHOULDER WHERE I WAS NOT AT SUCH GREAT RISK FROM TRAFFIC. THE SYMPTOMS INDICATED A LACK OF FUEL. I CHECKED THE QUANTITY OF FUEL IN THE TANK VISUALLY AND FOUND AMPLE FUEL (I HAD DRIVEN LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED MILES SINCE FILLING THE TANK, WELL WITHIN THE FUEL RANGE OF THE VEHICLE). AGAIN, AFTER APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 50 YARDS. AFTER ANOTHER FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND DRIVE ABOUT 50 YARDS. AFTER ANOTHER FEW MINUTES THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND GOT ME APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE TO MY HOME. A CHECK OF ERROR CODES IN THE ONBOARD COMPUTER INDICATED FUEL PUMP FAILURE. ON OCTOBER 5, 2009, I CONTACTED TOURING SPORT BMW REGARDING THE FAILURE AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V319000 REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR
