The EGR cooler in your diesel engine is a small part that helps clean exhaust gases. In some 2013-2017 BMW models, this cooler can leak, allowing soot and coolant to mix and create a fire hazard.
Risk if Unfixed
If the EGR cooler leaks, it could cause a fire in your engine, which could damage your vehicle and put you at risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty EGR cooler and check your intake manifold for damage. If it's damaged, they'll replace it too – all for free.
