2010 BMW 5-SERIES Recalls (3)

Campaign:
10V331000 on 07/21/2010
Component:
Fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system
Manufactured:
01/11/2010 - 06/30/2010
Affected:
6,080
Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 5-series and 5-series gran turismo passenger vehicles manufactured from january 12 through july 1, 2010. the vehicle's fuel level sensor within the fuel tank can become wedged against the tank.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster would display a larger amount of fuel than was actually in the tank. as a result, if the tank became empty, the vehicle could stall increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began on october 18, 2010. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.
Notes:
Owners 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 <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
Campaign:
10V446000 on 09/30/2010
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum
Affected:
198,352
Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 5-series, 6-series, and model year 2002-2008 7-series vehicles. a check valve of the brake vacuum pump may leak a small amount of lubricating oil. over time this could result in contamination of the brake booster.
Consequence:
Power assist braking performance could be adversely affected. in extreme cases there could be a complete loss of power assist braking. an unexpected reduction or loss in power braking assist may increase the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. the safety recall began on november 24, 2010. owners may contact bmw at 1-800-525-7417.

Component:
Electrical system:battery:cables
Manufactured:
05/31/2003 - 12/30/2009
Affected:
367,682
Defect:
Bmw is recalling certain model year 2004-2010 5-series, model year 2004-2010 6-series, model year 2006-2010 m5, and model year 2007-2010 m6 vehicles. the insulated bulkhead connector for the positive battery cable may have been incorrectly attached to the trunk floor panel, which can lead to a loosening of the bolt connection. as it loosens, an increase in electrical resistance at this cable connection is possible and could cause the cable connection to overheat.
Consequence:
Overheating could lead to a fire, even while the vehicle is not in use. as a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and secure the battery bolt cable connection as necessary, free of charge. the safety recall began on april 30, 2012. owners may contact bmw customer relations and services at 1-800-525-7417.
