- Component:
- Electrical system:wiring
- Manufactured:
- 07/28/2015 - 09/08/2015

- 8
- Defect:
- Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2016 x5 xdrive40e vehicles manufactured july 29, 2015, to september 9, 2015. the affected vehicles have a digital motor electronic (dme) control unit that may have a loose electrical ground cable, possibly causing an under-voltage condition which would result in the transmission shifting to neutral.
- Consequence:
- If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the ground cable, free of charge. the recall began february 6, 2017. owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- Notes:
- Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

- Manufactured:
- 05/06/2013 - 06/18/2017
- Affected:
- 44,368
- Defect:
- Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain 2013-2018 bmw 328d and 328d xdrive, 2014-2018 328d sports wagon and 328d xdrive sports wagon, 2014-2016 535d and 535d xdrive, 2015 740ld xdrive, 2015-2017 x3 xdrive28d sav and 2014-2017 x5 xdrive35d sav vehicles equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation (egr) module with an integrated cooler. if the egr cooler leaks internally, the coolant can mix with diesel engine soot. the high egr temperatures may result in these particles possibly smoldering and melting the intake manifold.
- Consequence:
- The melting intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.
- Correction:
- Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the egr cooler as necessary. if a leak has already occurred, the engine intake manifold will also be replaced. these repairs will be made free of charge. the recall is expected to begin december 17, 2018. owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
