What Happened
The fuel pump in your vehicle is the part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. In some 2014-2015 BMW models, the plating on this pump could be faulty, causing it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump fails while you're driving, your vehicle could stall suddenly, losing power steering and power brakes. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, free of charge. You'll get a notice in the mail, and they'll schedule the repair as soon as possible.
