What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing defect, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler may develop an internal coolant leak. If this occurs, the leaking coolant and recirculated exhaust gas may combine, which may result in a reduction of engine power and potentially a fire while driving.
What are the hazards?
A reduction of engine power whilst driving and/or a vehicle fire could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and/or damage to property.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by BMW requesting they immediately schedule an appointment with their preferred authorised BMW dealer for replacement of the EGR cooler, free of charge.
