What Happened
The high-pressure fuel pump in your vehicle is the part that delivers gasoline to your engine. In some 2020 and 2019 models, it might not be securely attached, which could cause it to crack and leak fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pump cracks and leaks fuel near an ignition source, like a spark plug or hot engine part, it could catch fire, posing a serious risk to your safety and your vehicle.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the high-pressure fuel pump with a new one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as possible to prevent any potential issues. This timing describes the original 2019 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
