2004 BMW K1200 S recalls

Recall 07V-066: Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Feb 23, 2007 · 6,631 vehicles affected · BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC

Problem: On certain motorcycles, frequent short trips particularly during cold temperatures, can cause water to accumulate in the oil tank, and when the engine is running, escaping water vapor can condense on the oil tank air bleed valve. In freezing temperatures, this water could freeze and block the air bleed valve.

Risk: It is possible that a pressure build up in the oil tank could cause it to rupture, allowing oil to leak onto the rear tire. An oil leak could cause a fire. Oil on the rear tire could cause loss of control.

Fix: Dealers will install a new oil tank cap containing a valve to prevent overpressure in the tank free of charge. The recall began on april 10, 2007. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.

Abs system failed at 26k, upon research,found this to be very common to this year/model, and ,of course, very dangerous on a motorcycle.a replacement ABS unit cost is more that the value of the vehicle!, as a retired firefighter, I can't afford this ridiculous expense,ans as a result,have removed the system, resulting in no power brakes,no ABS, and no speedometer.
