NHTSA recall 10V331000
Fuel System, Other · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The vehicle's fuel level sensor within the fuel tank can become wedged against the tank.
Why it matters: If this occurs, the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster would display a larger amount of fuel than was actually in the tank. As a result, if the tank became empty, the vehicle could stall increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on October 18, 2010.
