Critical #18V755000 Plain English
Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The EGR valve in your vehicle is a component that helps reduce emissions by recirculating exhaust gases. It has a built-in cooler to prevent overheating.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cooler in your EGR valve starts leaking, it can mix with soot and cause a fire hazard. In the worst case, the engine's intake manifold could melt, which could lead to a potentially serious fire.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the EGR cooler and replace it if necessary. If a leak has already occurred, they'll also replace the engine intake manifold. These repairs are completely free of charge, and you should schedule an appointment after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2018 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
