BMW K1200RS recalls in Canada

Transport Canada runs its own recall programme. Its campaigns do not always mirror the American ones, so a Canadian owner reading a US-only list is reading about a different car than the one on their driveway.

1998 BMW K1200RS Recall 2000219 5 Oct 2000 202 units in Canada

Engine

On certain vehicles, the snap ring which retains the cover for the oil thermostat element in the thermostat housing, may not have been completely seated during production. The oil thermostat housing is located in the oil pump intermediate flange. Should the cover loosen or detach, the entire volume of oil could escape from the engine in a relatively short time. In addition to significant engine damage, oil could travel along the engine cover and ultimately contact the rear tire. This could result in loss of traction and possible loss of vehicle control. Correction: Snap ring will be inspected to make sure that it is fully seated. If the snap ring is not fully seated, the complete fuel pump intermediate flange will be replaced.

1998 BMW K1200RS Recall 2000218 5 Oct 2000 29 units in Canada

Engine

On certain motorcycles, the cylinder head sealing plugs, covering holes in the area of the spark plugs, may not be fully seated. If either or both of the sealing plugs were to detach from their mounting point during vehicle operation, coolant could escape from the holes, travel along the engine cover and contact the rear tire. This could result in loss of traction and possible loss of vehicle control. Correction: Sealing plugs will be replaced with stainless steel plugs.

1998 BMW K1200RS Recall 1999005 14 Jan 1999 88 units in Canada

Fuel System

On certain vehicles, deformation of the fuel tank when the vehicle is operated in high ambient temperature conditions could cause a gap to form between the fuel tank mounting surface and the fuel pump gasket. This could result in fuel leakage and the possibility of fire. Correction: The fuel pump to tank gasket will be replace with an improved gasket that will prevent fuel leakage from the fuel pump/tank interface should tank deformation occur in high temperature conditions.
