NHTSA Complaint #10248223 — 2004 BMW K SERIES

FUEL LINE QUICK DISCONNECT BEGAN SPRAYING ME AND MY 2004 BMW K1200RS MOTORCYCLE WITH GASOLINE WHILE RIDING. THE MC WAS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO THE OBVIOUS FIRE HAZARD. CHECKED THE INTERNET. FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V028000. WENT TO MY LOCAL BMW DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE BIKE AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED. WAS TOLD THAT MY MC WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. BOUGHT A NEW UPDATED (MUCH SUPERIOR METAL INSTEAD OF PLASTIC) QUICK DISCONNECT FITTING AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. COMPLAINED TO BMW OF NORTH AMERICA. BMW OF NA ALSO TOLD ME THAT MY MC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. SINCE MY FUEL LINE LEAKAGE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IDENTICAL TO THE ONE DESCRIBED IN YOUR CAMPAIGN 04V028000, I REQUEST THAT YOU BRING PRESSURE ON BMW OF NA TO INCLUDE THE REST OF THE AFFECTED VIN IN THEIR RECALL DATA BASE. *TR
