What 4 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 BMW F800 GS

I BOUGHT THE 2012 F800GS WITH 417 MILES ABOUT A MONTH AGO AT A DEALERSHIP. IT'S A GREAT BIKE. I HAVE ABOUT 520 MILES ON IT. BUT TODAY I PUMPED GAS AND WHEN I PARKED IT AT HOME I NOTICED THAT IT WAS LEAKING GAS. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE FUEL TANK CRACKED ALONG THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK, ALL AROUND . I'VE CLEANED IT IN THE PAST AND NEVER SAW THIS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I REFUELED THE BIKE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR A NUMBER THAT I CAN CALL? I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANKS

THE BIKE WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT WHILE LOOKING AT IT TO REPAIR THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF A FIRE. THE BEST I CAN TELL IS SOMEONE AT THE DEALER CAUSED THE BIKE TO CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

THIS IS FOR A BMW F800GS 2012 TROPHY EDITION MOTORCYCLE GAS TANK. I JUST DISCOVERED CRACKS IN THE FUEL TANK JUST UNDERNEATH THE SEAT. I'VE ALSO SMELLED ALSO GAS COMING OUT OF THOSE CRACKS AND CONFIRMED IT IS VENTING GAS/AIR COMBINATION. I'VE CONTACTED THE AUTHORIZED BMW DEALER FROM I PURCHASED THE MOTORCYCLE WHICH IS UNDER WARRANTY AND LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD, AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COSMETIC ISSUE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK BUT WITH THE SAME MODEL/PART NUMBER AS THE EXISTING ONE AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CRACKS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN EVEN WITH THE NEW GAS TANK. I'VE CONTACTED BMW NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COSMETIC ISSUE AFTER THEY SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. THE MOTORCYCLE IS NOW AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR THE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED HOWEVER THEY DIDN'T PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER DURING THE REPAIR TIME WHICH IS NOW PAST 3 DAYS. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH I'VE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER F800GS OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS STARTED FROM 2008 SO I WAS SOLD A MOTORCYCLE WITH A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THE GAS TANK BUT NOBODY TOLD ME ANYTHING. AGAIN , COSMETIC OR NON-COSMETIC THESE ARE CRACKS IN THE GAS TANK AND GASOLINE/AIR COMBINATION IS COMING OUT OF THEM WHICH CAN LEAD INCLUDING TO EXPLOSION. *TR
