| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The vehicle in question is a bmw k1200lt motorcycle. this bike uses two quick-disconnect couplings in the fuel lines near the fuel tank. these connectors are made of a plastic-like material that is susceptible to cracking. when such a failure occurs (they are common), the pressurized fuel sprays around under the decorative covers of the bike without any warning other than the odor of fuel and visually detectable leaks. if left undetected, there is a serious risk of fire while the motorcycle is being ridden. bmw offers to replace defective connectors with the same part instead of changing the defective design. *jb |
