1991 BMW 525 Recalls (2)
- Campaign:
- 91V029000 on 02/27/1991
- Component:
- Vehicle speed control
- Manufactured:
- 08/31/1990 - 11/30/1990
- Affected:
- 5,644
- Defect:
- Insufficient axial clearance exists for throttle valve, shaft, and housing due to the different thermal expansion rates of the separate parts when vehicle reaches normal operating temperatures and ambient temperature is 40 degrees fahrenheit or less.
- Consequence:
- The limited axial clearance can cause the movement of thethrottle valve to be impeded, the valve is unable to close. this impedance wouldkeep the vehicle from decelerating at the usual rate after the gas pedal isreleased; this could cause unexpected maintenance of speed and an accident.
- Correction:
- Inspect and repair the vehicle by replacing throttle housing if insufficient axial clearance is found.
- Notes:
- System: throttle and throttle housing.description of vehicles: passenger cars.
- Campaign:
- 94V066000 on 04/12/1994
- Component:
- Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
- Manufactured:
- 05/31/1988 - 01/31/1993
- Affected:
- 116,300
- Defect:
- 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.
- Consequence:
- 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.
- Correction:
- A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.
- Notes:
- System: fuel; fuel line fittings; metallic.vehicle description: passenger vehicles; models 318i, 318si, 318ic, 325i, 325is, 325ix, 325ic, 525i, 535i, 735i and 735il.note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and free of charge, or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117. also, contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-800-424-9393.
