The water pump in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps keep your engine cool. In some 2012-2018 models, the electrical connector on this pump might not be sealed properly, exposing it to water and potentially causing a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the electrical connector shorts out, it could lead to a fire in your engine compartment – a situation that could put you and others at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and replace the water pump and electrical connector if necessary, and add a protective shield to prevent future issues – all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.
