Details

What's wrong: The sealing of the fuel pump control unit housing might be insufficient and water could intrude into the control unit housing creating a humid atmosphere. Under such conditions, the fuel pump could corrode and then fail.

Why it matters: Failure of the fuel pump will cause inadequate fuel to reach the engine and cause the engine to stop running. A loss of engine power without warning could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners and replace the fuel pump control unit free of charge. The safety recall began on November 9, 2009.
