Component:
Child seat:vehicle latch anchor
Manufactured:
07/01/2010 - 04/13/2016
Affected:
188,668
Defect:
Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain model year 2011-2017, x3 sdrive28i, x3 xdrive28i and x3 xdrive35i, vehicles manufactured july 2, 2010 to april 14, 2016, 2015-2017 x3 xdrive28d vehicles manufactured march 10, 2014 to march 31, 2016, and 2015-2017 x4 xdrive28i, x4 xdrive35i and x4 xdrivem40i vehicles manufactured march3, 2014 to april 15, 2016. the affected vehicles have lower anchor bars for securing child restraint seats that may become damaged when using the european-isofix-type, rigid-style connector, child restraint system.
Consequence:
Damaged lower anchor bars may increase the child's risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Correction:
Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body, free of charge. the recall began on july 13, 2016. 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.
Campaign:
16V704000 on 10/02/2016
Component:
Steering:electric power assist system
Manufactured:
06/06/2016 - 06/06/2016
Affected:
103
Defect:
Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling one model year 2017 bmw x3 xdrive 28i vehicle manufactured on june 7, 2016. this vehicle has electronic power steering (eps), and the contact pins on the eps control unit may not have been welded properly resulting in increased resistance.
Consequence:
An increase in pin contact resistance can increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off.
Correction:
The vehicle was repaired at the dealership before sale. therefore, an owner notification notice will not be issued for this campaign. 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.

Component:
Engine and engine cooling:exhaust system:emission control:gas recirculation valve (egr valve)
Manufactured:
02/16/2014 - 12/20/2016
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.
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.
