• Recall 18651 [USA]: Fuel seepage between the feed fuel hose and the engine fitting can result in free fuel in the engine compartment, which could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.
  Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting is unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose.
  a redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.

• Recall 19500 [USA]: If loss of throttle control from the frozen throttle body occurs while the vehicle is in motion, a vehicle crash could occur.
  The adhesive material of the two piece throttle body heater migrates into the circulation chamber causing build up of impurities and restriction of flow within the chamber. This condition and water vapors from the crank that freezes at low ambient air temperatures prevents the throttle plate from closing as the driver releases the gas pedal, causing loss of throttle control.
  bmw dealers will replace the throttle body heater with a modified heater.
