What is wrong
On certain motorcycles, at lower temperatures, wiring within the anti-theft control unit may press against the fuel pump relay. The fuel pump relay contacts could open, interrupting the fuel supply to the engine, resulting in stalling.
The risk
If stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain speed or accelerate, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the anti-theft control unit. The recall began october 4, 2004. Customers should contact BMW at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
