ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:PUMP

Manufacturer

The water pump in your vehicle helps keep your engine cool by circulating coolant. In some affected BMW models, a small electrical connector on the water pump can get damaged, letting water in and causing a short circuit.

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the water pump and electrical connector, replace them if necessary, and add a protective shield to prevent future issues – all at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The brake power assist system in your vehicle uses a vacuum pump that needs to be properly lubricated. In some 2012-2014 BMW models, this pump might not get enough lubrication, which could cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake power assist pump fails, you'll lose some of your vehicle's braking power. This could make it harder to stop, especially on steep hills or in emergency situations, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will install a locking ring to keep the camshaft seal in place, ensuring the vacuum pump gets the lubrication it needs to work properly. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:HEAD

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The head air bag in your vehicle is a safety device that deploys in the event of a side collision. In some 2014-2015 BMW models, the air bag inflator may fail at the weld joint, causing gas to leak or the inflator to rupture.
Risk if Unfixed
If the inflator ruptures, sharp metal fragments could fly into your vehicle and cause serious injury. Alternatively, if the gas leaks, the air bag may not fully deploy in a crash, also putting you at risk of injury.
Free Fix
