What Happened
The PCV valve in your car is a small device that helps remove bad gases from your engine. The heater for this valve could short circuit and cause a fire.
Risk if Unfixed
If the PCV valve heater short circuits, it could overheat and start a fire while you're driving or shortly after parking. This is a serious risk that could cause significant damage to your vehicle or harm you or others.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will install a new electrical wiring harness with a fuse to protect the PCV valve heater, free of charge. This repair is a safety precaution to prevent a potential fire, and you should schedule it as soon as possible once you get the recall notice.
