The water pump in your car helps keep your engine cool by circulating coolant. In some models, the electrical connector on the pump might not be sealed properly, leaving it vulnerable to water damage.
Risk if Unfixed
If water seeps into the connector, it could cause an electrical short, which could lead to a fire. This is a serious risk, especially if you're driving at high speeds or in hot weather.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the water pump and connector, replace them if necessary, and add a protective shield to prevent future issues. This repair is free, and you'll receive a notice with instructions on how to schedule the fix.
