The EGR cooler is a part that helps clean up exhaust gases in your diesel engine. In your 2013-2018 BMW, the EGR cooler might start leaking, causing a serious problem.
Risk if Unfixed
If the EGR cooler leaks, it could cause a fire by creating smoldering particles that melt the intake manifold. This is a serious risk that could lead to a blaze in your engine compartment.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty EGR cooler and check the intake manifold for damage. If it's damaged, they'll fix or replace it for you, all at no cost. You should schedule this repair after checking repair availability with your dealer, and it's expected to be available starting June 2022. This timing describes the original 2021 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
