ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Safety Recalls

Critical #18V674000 Plain English
Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The Engine Control Unit (ECU) is like the brain of your engine. It tells your car how to run smoothly. In some 2013-2015 BMW 760Li models, the ECU might have been misprogrammed during a service visit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ECU is misprogrammed, your engine could stall while you're driving, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer has already fixed the issue by reprogramming the ECU with the correct software, so there's nothing for you to do — but if you have any questions, you can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
