• Recall R/2000/135 [UK]: Lower steering shaft may fail
  Due to the long term effects of corrosion the above vehicles are being recalled. The corrosion is an age related problem and this recall action will target the oldest cars first in groups of 15000 to 20000. It is believed that as long as the vehicle has a current mot and is serviced correctly any possible corrosion problems with the shaft will be highlighted as a matter of course. If customers are concerned they can visit any bmw dealer to have the shaft checked.
  defect (cont.) if the component is safe the car will not be repaired at this stage but will be recalled at a later date as originally planned. Remedy recall affected vehicles and fit modified lower steering shaft.

• Recall 1998197 [Canada]: Heater and defroster
  On certain vehicles, failure of a cooling system component such as thermostat, water pump or fan belt can result in a significant increase in coolant temperature and system pressure. Increased system pressure could result the formation of a crack or separation of a seam in the heater core end piece which would cause hot coolant to be expelled from the heater core. This hot fluid could contact car occupants resulting in possible personal injury and/or fogging of the interior window surfaces. Correction: radiator cap will be replaced with a new design cap in order to avoid buildup of excessive pressure in the cooling system.

• Recall 1997173 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain 318ic, 318is, 318ti, 325i, 325ic, 325is, 525i, 525it, 530i, 530it, 540i, 740i, 740il, 840ci and m3, the cruise control and throttle cable are attached to the same throttle valve actuating lever at the throttle housing. It is possible that the plastic bushing on either cable could break causing the outer cable housing to separate from the bushing. Throttle pedal application without cruise control engagement could cause the outer tube to catch on the edge of the broken bushing resulting in the throttle valve remaining partially open. If this were to occur, the car might not decelerate as expected and a crash could occut. Correction: a spring clip will be installed on the outer tube of each cable to prevent dislodgment from the bushing.

Sudden wheel bearing failure - little or no symptoms before failure. Severe or total loss of control. Seems to be a common problem with sealed unit angular contact units on all bmw's this has happened 3 times on our vehicles - resulting in one crash. We know of other similar incidents. *jb
