Exhaust & Emissions
The melting intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.
The intake manifold may melt and ignite into fire due to a coolant leak in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Module Cooler. The hot coolant can mix with Diesel engine soot, resulting in smoldering soot that causes the melting. Dealers will inspect and replace the EGR cooler as necessary, and if a leak has already occurred, the intake manifold of the engine will also be replaced free of charge to resolve the concern.
Recall repairs on your BMW must be performed by a BMW dealership. BMW will notify known owners of affected vehicles beginning in December, 2018. If you do not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local BMW dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with.
