Details
What's wrong: A bolt used to attach a ground cable between the tank and the vehicle chassis may not have been properly welded during manufacturing.
Why it matters: An inadequate weld of the bolt to the fuel tank could cause a fuel leak. In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak could lead to a fire.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank if necessary, free of charge. The recall began in November 2014.
