For the eligible vehicles and for the issue
described below, BMW of North America, LLC
(BMW NA) is extending the limited warranty for
the vehicle’s engine crankcase pressure
control valve (PCV) to:
15 years/150,000 miles, whichever occurs
first, from the vehicle’s original in-service
date.
This component and issue specific limited
warranty extension applies to defects in
materials or workmanship.
This coverage is subject to the same vehicle eligibility requirements, limitations, and exclusion criteria that
applies to the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks.
Note: This bulletin is notice of a component and issue-specific limited warranty extension. This is NOT
a notice of a Recall or Service Action.
There is no immediate repair required unless the BMW vehicle is currently experiencing this problem.
Customer Notification Letter
Even though this is NOT a Recall, BMW NA is sending VIN-specific customer notification letters.
CAUSE
Over time, the engine’s crankcase pressure control valve’s (PCV) rubber diaphragm can rupture/split. Should
this occur, the diaphragm cannot provide sufficient engine oil separation.
As a result, after a cold start and sometimes while driving, the engine can produce and emit blue/white smoke
from the exhaust system.
Occasionally, a high-frequency whistling noise may also be heard emitting from the engine compartment under
the acoustic cover when idling.
If generated, the vehicle will store the following fault codes, and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will
illuminate:
140601
140610
Misfires, cylinder 6: Fuel injection is switched off
Misfires, cylinder 6: detected
The engine may also shudder during operated and/or run with reduced power (Limp-mode).
CORRECTION
Follow the instructions in the PROCEDURE section.
PROCEDURE
If a vehicle listed above arrives at your center with the issue described in this Service Information Bulletin,
perform the corresponding diagnosis.
Use the “Crankcase pressure measurement” service function to measure the pressure in the crankcase, path to
the service function is:

Too low
Too High
This service solution is no longer applicable
This service solution applies, replace the pressure control valve (PCV).
Note: Excessively high vacuum in the crankcase, for example, a vacuum of “-100 mbar,” instead of “-50 mbar”
is an indication that the pressure control valve in the cylinder head cover is faulty.
