• Recall 2019018 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-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 action: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag module replaced. 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 2018195 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, the auxiliary water pump (which cools the turbocharger after the engine is turned off) can overheat and fail. This could result in a vehicle fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the auxiliary water pump. Note: owners are advised to park the vehicle outdoors until the remedy is applied. Additional note: this is an expansion of recalls 2011-376 and 2012-008.

• Recall 2016505 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the wires going to the in-tank fuel pump may not have been crimped correctly. An incorrect crimp could increase the resistance of the circuit which could cause the contact pin to heat and melt the surrounding plastic. This could potentially cause the fuel pump to stop working causing the vehicle to stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Also, in a very rare case, a fuel leak combined with an external ignition source, could increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the fuel delivery module.

  Show Content

• 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 2014127 [Canada]: Engine
  On certain vehicles, housing bolts for the variable camshaft timing system could break, allowing camshaft timing to deviate. If this occurs, the engine would revert to "limp home mode", limiting available engine power. This could increase the risk of a collision causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace affected bolts.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 bmw x6. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle from a private owner, the contact stated that excessive smoke came out of the tail pipe and he discovered service bulletin number: 110815. The vehicle was serviced by bill jacobs bmw (630-357-1200, located at 2495 aurora ave, naperville, il 60540), but the contact was uncertain if the vehicle was serviced by a recall and if the valve stems had been replaced. The contact stated that the rear of the vehicle was smoking excessively and there was a reduction in power. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting for a response to determine a repair remedy. The failure mileage was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 bmw x6. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and all the warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the auxiliary water pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 12v161000 (engine and engine cooling). The dealer (bmw of manhattan, 801 11th ave, new york) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was 80,912.

Low pressure fuel sensor was said to be replace, bmw has record of this known issue. I went to get my vehicle checked out first because the water pump was bad and bmw knows this as well. Then they stated i need to change the low pressure fuel sensor for $900+ dollars. I just replaced the water pump costing $1,199 dollars , bmw is aware of these ongoing issues in these cars and are doing nothing about it!

I started my stationary vehicle in my driveway and i saw white smoke coming from under the hood. After further inspection, i saw a small fire on the connector to the auxiliary water pump. Using water i put out the fire. I took out the pump and harness and took pictures. I contacted bmw north america, who requested me to take the vehicle to bmw dealership, who confirmed that it was the water pump that failed. There already is an active recall for a water pump for my vehicle, but as my vehicle has two water pumps, according to bmw, it is not for this water pump. However the failure happened just as described in the other water pump recall. Bmw north america is refused to repair the vehicle under the recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 bmw x6. While driving 60 mph, the "vehicle overheating" warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

My bmw x6 is experiencing electrical issues. The passenger rear view mirror no longer folds in and i can't adjust it to a perfect position. Also my wiper speed will not adjust. When in reverse the camera flickers badly. Sometimes it works, other times it does not. Very inconsistent.
