[UPDATED 2/9/2021...see my latest post].
I received my second RT fuel pump recall letter (that indicates there is a ‘remedy available’). I called the dealer where I found my current 2009 RT about 2 years ago and they indicated now they cannot service BMWs over 10 years old.
EDIT: The dealer is BMW Motorcycles of Vancouver, WA; part of Pro Caliber Motorsports.
I pointed out to the service manager that I bought this bike at their dealership (used) and I’ve had work done on it by their BMW-trained mechanic; he responded their relationship with BMW has changed with regards to service & recalls.
Of course like many other places this is a “Powersports” dealer that sells/services various makes of toys like Yamaha, Kawasaki and Indian. They took on BMW about 3 to 4 years ago if memory serves...
This is disappointing because it was only a 45 minute trip from my house to this shop; the next closest BMW dealers are over two hours one-way.
Is this a change in BMWs contractual relationship with some of their dealers?
