What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is like a critical part of your heart, pumping gasoline to the engine. In some 2014-2015 BMW models, the fuel pump's protective coating could wear off, making it fail prematurely.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump fails, your engine could stall without warning, leaving you without power steering and brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
