What Happened

Your vehicle's fuel pump is like a little heart that keeps your engine running. In some BMW models from 2007-2012, the wires inside the fuel pump might not be securely connected, which could cause a problem.

Risk if Unfixed

If the wires inside the fuel pump don't connect properly, they could melt and cause a fuel leak. This could also make your engine stall while you're driving, increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump module with a new one, free of charge. This repair is completely free, and you'll be notified when it's time to schedule the fix.
