Component
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
What Happened
The EGR valve in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps reduce emissions. In certain models, the integrated cooler in this valve can leak, causing a potentially hazardous situation.
Risk if Unfixed
If the EGR cooler leaks, it could cause soot to mix with coolant and smolder in your engine. This can lead to the intake manifold melting, increasing the risk of a fire.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the EGR cooler and replace it if necessary, and also replace the intake manifold if it has been damaged. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
