    Due to the ingress of moisture it is possible that a short circuit can occur in the additional coolant pump for the exhaust turbocharger. The driver will be informed of the issue by a warning message on the display in the instrument panel. If not addressed it is possible for further heat build up in the pump which may cause the plug connection and housing to melt and in extreme cases a localised fire in the engine compartment or vehicle.
    recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the additional coolant pump.

  • Recall R/2011/123 [UK]: Risk of fire
    Moisture may enter the fuel filter heater at an electrical connection. Should this occur it can cause a discharge of the battery causing non starting of the vehicle. Also if it occurs whilst the vehicle is in motion it could result in a fire when the vehicle is left unattended.
    recall all affected vehicles and replace the fuel filter heater.

  • Recall R/2019/057 [UK]: Auxiliary water pump's electronic circuit board could lead to a short circuit
    The auxiliary water pump may short circuit causing a thermal incident.
    the auxiliary water pump of the affected vehicles will be replaced.

  • Recall R/2009/074 [UK]: Brakes may fail
    It has been identified that during the manufacturing process cracks may have formed in the area of the brake disc body. Subsequent surface treatment means that any such crack will not be detectable at a later date. Should a crack have formed this may cause the brake disc to fail whilst the vehicle is in motion causing the affected brake to become inoperative.
    recalled vehicles will have the rear axle brake discs checked for the affected production date. The brake discs will be checked if necessary.

  • Recall R/2013/095 [UK]: Possibility of fire
    Due to a fault with an internal connection within the fuel filter heater (ffh) it is possible that during temperatures below freezing the ffh can remain permanently activated. This will normally cause the ffh to overheat which will result in the inability to start the vehicle due to a flat battery. This can occur even when the ignition is turned off. However in extreme cases it could cause a vehicle fire.
    recall all affected vehicles to replace the ffh.

  • 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 2018018 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag module. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

  • 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.

  • 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 2012129 [Canada]: Label
    Certain vehicles fail to conform to canada motor vehicle safety standards. Specifically, the compliance label does not indicate the wheel rim size, as required by the standard. Correction: due to the inconsequential nature of this non-compliance, no action will be taken.

  • Recall 2011376 [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 property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will replace the auxiliary water pump. Note: owners are advised to park the vehicle outdoors until the remedy is applied.

  • Recall 2009204 [Canada]: Brakes
    On certain vehicles, the rear brake discs may not have been manufactured according to specifications. As a result, a reduction in braking performance at the affected rear wheel could occur. In an extreme case, the affected rear brake disc could break resulting in a loss of braking at the wheel. Extended stopping distances may result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the rear brake discs.

Engine is leaking oil and it's a fire hazard... Google search for exactly the same issue indicates that this is a very common with bmw. Car has 25k miles and oil filter gasket and cylinder head are leaking oil into engine, this should never happen on a hardly driven car. Suspect bmw is intentionally using defective parts to charge outrageous repair fees. Other manufactures recall this type of issue, why is bmw getting away with this?

Was going to lunch approx. 3-4 miles from my home as i pulled into the parking lot, the computer gave a panic warning to immediately turn off the engine as it was overheating and can cause damage. I turned off the motor and was confused as that was the only warning and it appeared that nothing was wrong. I got out of the car and opened the hood. As i was doing so the expansion tank exploded and the hot water shot past me and just caught my right shoulder. Needless to say if this caught me dead on i would have been burned badly. I called the dealer and was told that there was no recall on my vehicle. The dealer also told me to call another dealer as they may have better information. I had the expansion tank replaced and they replaced the coolant. There seems to be a air pocket in the engine and the coolant needs to be topped off after running the engine. If no recall, why not? *tr

Vehicle wasn't driving properly, constantly putting 1 qt of oil in vehicle every 2 weeks because i would get a message on dash saying low oil. I took my vehicle to dealership and they said not showing a problem. They ran diagnostic test and still nothing. Same issue happen again and more test were run and finally they said it was fuel pump system and it was fixed. The oil issue continued on until my check engine light came on and i took it to the dealership yet again and they don't know what the problem is. They've had my vehicle for 3 weeks, took engine apart, talked to their master tech and no one can tell me what's wrong with my vehicle. At this point i feel its a lemon and don't want the vehicle back. I feel unsafe driving it and think the dealership should give me a new vehicle and reimburse me for a car rental, mileage, time and energy wasted because i complained about this problem previously and they did nothing,. I've contacted corporate and all im told is give the dealership time to fix the vehicle....Its been 3 [xxx] weeks and still they don't know what's going on. Customer service treatment is horrible, i will never buy this another bmw product again! I advise people to not buy this vehicle at all a waste of time and money--- information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

To whom it might concern: i have reasons to believe that my 2009 bmw x6 does not comply with the 49cfr 571.225 standard. In particular, by carefully reviewing the standard, i maintain that the lower anchorages do not meet the requirements for orientation, and accessibility, and i suspect that additional features are not compliant with the same standard. I suspect that this matter is not relative to a production malfunction for my specific vehicle, but is a design flaw of the car model. I have also a series of relevant concerns regarding the lackadaisical and negligent attitude of bmw in addressing such serious concerns. *tr
