Details

What's wrong: BMW of north america, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 540D xdrive vehicles that were previously repaired under recall number 22V-614. The exhaust gas recirculation (egr) cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.

Why it matters: An egr valve with smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold increases the risk of an engine fire.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the egr module and the intake manifold as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 7, 2024.
