2007 BMW X5 SAV Recalls (5)

Campaign:
07V391000 on 08/28/2007
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic
Manufactured:
02/04/2007 - 04/29/2007
Affected:
6,595
Defect:
Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." the cap of the brake fluid reservoir has been designed in orderto recognize a low fluid level of the hydraulic brake system by triggering a red warning lamp in the instrument cluster. a switch that is attached to this cap could malfunction at high temperatures.
Consequence:
If this happened, the red warning lamp in the instrument cluster would not be activated. loss of the hydraulic brake system may cause increased stopping distances which could result in a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap free of charge. the recall began on september 20, 2007. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
Notes:
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Campaign:
07V479000 on 10/11/2007
Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Manufactured:
10/01/2006 - 06/26/2007
Affected:
29,250
Defect:
On certain vehicles equipped with v8 engines, in conditions of below freezing temperatures combined with low humidity, it is possible for electrostatic discharge to occur at the fuel rails. if this were to occur, the engine electronic control unit (ecu) could be affected so that engine stalling could result.
Consequence:
If stalling were to occur, the driver may not be able to maintain vehicle speed or accelerate and the power steering could fail increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will attach two ground cables in the engine compartment free of charge. the recall began on october 29, 2007. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.

Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 x5 sav vehicles, manufactured september 12, 2006, through march 18, 2010 and equipped with an 8-cylinder engine. the brake vacuum pump may leak a small amount of lubricating oil into the hose. the contamination could result in a loss of power assist braking.
Consequence:
The loss of power assist in braking could increase stopping distance and lead to a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake vacuum line with one that contains a check valve, free of charge. the recall began during march 2013. owners may call bmw at 1-800-525-7417 or email bmw at customerrelations@bmwusa.com.
