NHTSA recall 09V499000
Engine And Engine Cooling · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: During engine operation, a vacuum is created in order to draw fresh air into the canister. This air then mixes with the fuel vapors captured by the canister, and is subsequently combusted. Due to the routing of the ventilation hose, water near the end of the hose could be drawn into the charcoal canister.
Why it matters: Water could flow into the canister causing a stalling condition increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and add an additional hose and route it such that the present defect is prevented. This remedy will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on May 13, 2010.
