What Happened
The PCV valve in your vehicle helps clean the air in your engine by recirculating it. The heater for this valve could short circuit and overheat, causing it to malfunction.
Risk if Unfixed
If the PCV valve heater fails, it could melt and start a fire, even when your car is parked and turned off. This is a serious safety risk, and you should get it fixed right away.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty PCV valve heater with a new one at no cost to you. They'll send you a notification when it's time to schedule the repair, and you should follow their instructions to get it done.
