What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is a crucial part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2014 and 2015 BMW models, the fuel pump's nickel plating could be flawed, leading to premature failure.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fuel pump fails on the road, your car may stall without warning, causing you to lose power steering and power brakes. This could make it hard to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible once you receive the recall notice, and don't hesitate to reach out to BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions.
