Component
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
What Happened
The EGR valve is a critical part in your diesel engine that helps reduce emissions. In some 2018 BMW 540d xDrive models, the valve's built-in cooler can leak, causing soot and coolant to mix and create a fire hazard.
Risk if Unfixed
If the EGR cooler leaks, it could cause your intake manifold to melt, which can lead to a fire in your engine. This is a serious risk that could cause a fire while you're driving.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty EGR module and inspect the intake manifold to ensure it's safe. If it's damaged, they'll replace it for you – at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
