Details

What's wrong: The heater for the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve may short circuit.

Why it matters: An electrical short can cause the parts within the pcv valve to melt, increasing the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use.

The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will replace the pcv valve heater, free of charge. The recall began May 30, 2019.
