NHTSA recall 16V746000
Fuel System, Gasoline · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The affected vehicles have in-tank fuel pumps that may have insufficiently crimped wire contacts.
Why it matters: The loose wires may cause the connector to melt, resulting in a fuel leak. Additionally, the fuel pump may stop working, possibly causing an engine stall and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump module, free of charge. The recall began February 2017.
