NHTSA Complaint #11363230 — 2012 BMW R 1200 GS

SEVERAL TIMES THE BIKE THREW AN ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT "ENGINE CONTROLLER FAULT" AND LOST POWER, GOING INTO "LIMP-HOME" MODE. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE WHILE THE BIKE WAS BEING OPERATED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SOMETIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF A CORNER. THE BIKE WAS UNRIDEABLE IN LIMP-HOME MODE SO WAS NAVIGATED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND SHUT DOWN AT ROADSIDE. AFTER A BRIEF WAIT THE BIKE WAS STARTED AGAIN AND RAN NORMALLY.THE ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER AT THE 12K SERVICE AND AN UPDATED FLASH WAS APPLIED TO THE ECU, BUT THE BIKE HAS SINCE NOT BEEN RIDDEN SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I AM UPLOADING WITH THIS FILING A PDF FILE CONTAINING THE RESULTS OF AN OBD SCAN I RAN ON THE VEHICLE BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR THE 12K SERVICE, AND YOU CAN SEE IN THAT PDF THE ERROR CODES THAT WERE REPORTED AT EACH OCCURRENCE.
