ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Safety Recalls

Critical #18V755000 Plain English
Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The EGR valve in your vehicle is a critical part that helps reduce emissions and pollution. It's made up of a cooler that helps keep things from getting too hot.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cooler in your EGR valve starts to leak, contaminated coolant and soot can mix and potentially cause the intake manifold to melt. This could lead to a fire while you're driving.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the EGR cooler and replace it if necessary, and if a leak has already occurred, they'll also replace the intake manifold. This repair is completely free to you, and you should schedule it after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2018 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.

Original — What Happened
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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
The melting intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.
Original — Remedy
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 began May 13, 2019. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
