Yet another recall

[Stoney]

...Just a few weeks after the battery software update I have received another letter recalling my 12 for a 'replacement of the seal in the fuel pump'.

Anyone would think they are trying to drive customers into the showrooms just before Christmas or something.

Good job I've done all my chrimbo shopping already.

The fuel pump seal recall is well over a year old....elsewhere on these forums you'll find a post with the relevant frame numbers etc........unless, of course, your bike is 'well over a year old'........

No - my bike is not even a year old. March 1st 2005 to be precise. In that time I have had two services and been in for an additinal software update - annoying huh!

The letter states that BemW have only recently released details of this recall.

That's very interesting........so now they've issued a second recall on the same issue.....

Clearly they have not introduced the modification (a different seal) on the production line......

Is this the issue........?

Seems like it. They say part no 0000163300.

My GS is due for a service in the new year. I've read about the fuel pump seal, the dealer has informed me about a "campaign" to have the charging software updated, and I note that there is an "offer" by the dealer network to "check" over the braking system.

Noting the above, is there anything else, other than normal service items, that I should ask the dealer to check while the bike is in?

I don't know about that Keith but you have checked the torque on the torx bolts which nip up the bottom yoke onto the fork legs, haven't you...?

I think its down to the dealer - my bike is Oct 2004 and I havent had a single recall from Bath Road (now Bristol Motorrad) since I bought it new from them. Does that mean my bike is perfect - or does it mean that Bath Road havent got round to it yet.

Mind you, I havent had any problems so I'm not bothered.
