| Defect | 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. 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. |
| Remedy | 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. |
