• Recall 2020008 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the driver-front airbag inflator. The driver-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2017067 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, the positive cable which connects the battery to the fuse box may not meet the manufacturer's specification. If movements between the cable and the fuse box occur, in combination with very high current flow, the tin coated connections may degrade over time. This could lead to a break in the electrical connection and create a non-starting condition, possible flickering of the display in the instrument cluster, or in some cases, an engine stall with a loss of various vehicle systems while the vehicle is in motion, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the positive battery cable connector with one that is silver-coated and further secure it to the fuse box.

• Recall 2016142 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will replace the front driver air bag inflator or air bag module, depending on the vehicle model.

• Recall 2014435 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain vehicles, a defect in manufacturing could result in a loss of oil supply to the vacuum pump. If this were to occur, the vacuum pump could fail, causing a loss of power assist to the braking system. This could cause increased stopping distances, possibly resulting in a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will install a camshaft seal disk locking ring. Note: this is an expansion of recall 2013-330.

Driving down i-89 in vermont, just south of montpelier, we were driving at highway speeds toward a construction zone, suddenly, all of the power to the car cut out. There was no warning, no lights, no “bing bong” of the car to let us know there was an issue, it just stopped. We had less than 10 seconds to make a decision. When the car lost power, we had no power brakes or steering. We were in the section with concrete barriers on both sides and no shoulder. This is the most dangerous situation i can think of. We noticed an on ramp merge lane just ahead and managed to coast into it just in time to loose all momentum before the steep hill. The car had been in for service less than a month prior. When i had it towed to the automaster, they told me that it could be the timing chain. We found out later that the timing chain is known to be faulty in these engines (though we were not informed of this earlier). We learned (by searching on line) there was a class action law suit and that these engines are known to have this problem around 100k miles. I was told that i have to spend $1500 to determine if it is the timing chain and if so, it will only be covered "maybe up to 50%" by the warranty. The cost of a new engine is $15,000 and i just paid off my loan on the car the day before we left for vacation. If this problem is known to bmw of north america, why is this not a recall item? We were put in a very dangerous situation and if our kids or my clients were in the car at the time, it could have turned out very differently. We were very lucky, but this is a really dangerous situation to be in, for a car that is less than 7 years old and under 100k miles that has been maintained diligently. We feel this should be a safety recall item that bmw should be responsible for. Timing chains should not brake like that. I have never been so terrified and felt so out of control in a vehicle before. No one should have to go through that.

Twice the shift gears such as placing car in park or drive, it frooze up twice once in the care of the service center at carmax and 2nd time backing up from my house and the car shift wouldnt go into to drive mode , my husband had to push car into drive way. It was in motion in reverse and back up onto the city street and it wouldnt move to drive

Bmw has reported and extended the warranty for a timing chain and oil pump drive chain. I have seen several posts online that say the engine failed completely. What i do not understand is why this had not been a recall. I have seen other manufacturers recall cars, recently one even said that it may have to replace the engine because of potential failure. We don't have a lot of miles on the car and it has been maintained by our dealer but am really concerned about failure on a highway. I am sorry, i had to put a date below in order to go to next page.

Check engine light came on - codes set for fuel level sensors and engine thermostat and sensor. I was driving and check engine light came on never ran vehicle out of gas and always serviced at the dealer. Had to replace both fuel level sensors, fuel pump kit and thermostat

2014 x1 x28i w/ n20 engine, 3/2013 production date, 6/2013 in-service date, 86k miles, bought as cpo. Have maintained per cbm, almost exclusively at dealer. As a "class vehicle" owner, i have received notification of the class action lawsuit settlement regarding the timing & oil pump chain systems on the n20/n26 motors. Starting to hear the timing/oil chain whine, but this is a difficult thing to quantify. Have noticed timing chain can be quite slack as observed through the oil fill cap. Took to dealer, they listened but said "nothing heard at this time." refused my request to endoscope for debris through oil drain pan or fill cap, wanted several hundred $$ to check via oil level sensor port instead. Also wanted another several hundred $$ to check timing chain tension, an excessive fee for 30 minutes of labor. Quoted me nearly $6k for upgrading the timing and oil chain system parts per their tsb, and said it would not be subject to the cost sharing terms of the lawsuit settlement. Very frustrating to not get better support from a luxury brand for a known and acknowledged problem. It is obvious they are encouraging the owner to wait until the problem gets "bad enough", but by then the clock might have run out, and much more damage and dangerous situations are more likely to occur. This is not a nice way to treat your customers, bmw. I'm sure you don't want your aircraft mechanics thinking about maintenance the same way, do you?
