Chronology :
Please refer to BMW’s October 25, 2018 Part 573 report to which assigned Recall ID 18V-755.
After the implementation of 18V-755, the field continued to be monitored for any further actions, if warranted.
After the implementation of 18V-755, foreign recall 20F-080 was implemented. However, substantially similar vehicles in the US had the improved EGR module which appeared to be effective and, therefore, no US efforts were warranted.]
After continuous field monitoring, and a comprehensive review of field data, it was indicated that the EGR cooler may not be sufficiently robust over the vehicle’s lifetime. The field data indicated that there was a limited thermal event on a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder vehicle which occurred after these vehicles had the 18V-755 recall performed. Therefore, it was decided to readdress this issue and replace the EGR module on all potentially affected vehicles with an improved cooler designed and produced by a new EGR cooler supplier.
BMW vehicle assembly records were reviewed to determine the number and production range of potentially affected vehicles.
On November 12, 2021, in an abundance of caution, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW
otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

BMW AG has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain Model Year 2013-2018 BMW Diesel engine models (3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, X3 SAV, X5 SAV). Our records indicate that you are the owner of a potentially affected vehicle. Why are we contacting you? We are informing you of a safety recall on your vehicle although we are not able to perform the remedy at this time. We will notify you with a follow-up letter as soon as we are able to perform this safety recall. Please note that this specific vehicle (see VIN above) may have been repaired as a part of a prior safety recall (18V-755). Unfortunately, after extensive analysis, your vehicle needs to have the EGR cooler replaced with an updated version. What could happen? The engine’s Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler could develop an internal leak. Cooling fluid could mix with typical diesel engine soot deposits. With high temperatures normally present in the EGR module, this might result in smoldering particles. In some cases, these particles could contact the engine intake manifold and create small holes due to melting. If this occurs, it would increase the risk of a fire. Your vehicle may be experiencing this issue if one or more of the following occurs; a reduction in engine power, a warning symbol indicating a loss of engine coolant, an unpleasant odor (e.g., exhaust) and/or an unusual noise from the engine. If this occurs, carefully move away from traffic and pull over to a safe location as soon as possible. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive the vehicle. Contact BMW Roadside Assistance at 1-800-332-4269 immediately to have your vehicle brought to the nearest authorized BMW center. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information. If you are a vehicle lessor, Federal Regulations require you to forward this notice to your lessee within ten days What will BMW do? When the remedy is available, the EGR Cooler will be replaced, and the intake manifold will be checked and, if necessary replaced, for free which could take about an hour. There may be some options to help overcome the inconvenience of bringing your vehicle in for service, if needed. Contact your local BMW center to check what may be available.

Podría producirse una fuga interna en el enfriador de la recirculación de gases de escape (EGR) del motor. El líquido refrigerante podría mezclarse con los depósitos de hollín típicos de los motores diésel. Con las altas temperaturas que se presentan normalmente en el módulo EGR, esto podría derivar en partículas incandescentes. En algunos casos, estas partículas podrían entrar en contacto con el colector de admisión del motor y crear pequeños agujeros al derretirse. Si esto ocurre, aumentaría el riesgo de un incendio. Es posible que su vehículo experimente este problema si ocurre uno o más de los siguientes: una reducción en la potencia del motor, un símbolo de advertencia que indica una pérdida de refrigerante del motor, un olor desagradable (por ejemplo, del escape) o un ruido inusual del motor. Si esto ocurre, aléjese con cuidado del tránsito y deténgase en un lugar seguro lo antes posible.

What could happen? The engine’s Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler could develop an internal leak. Cooling fluid could mix with typical diesel engine soot deposits. With high temperatures normally present in the EGR module, this might result in smoldering particles. If these particles contact the engine intake manifold, they could create small holes due to melting, increasing the risk of a fire. If you notice an unpleasant odor, i.e., an odor of exhaust gas and you hear an unusual noise from the engine compartment, your vehicle may be experiencing this issue. You may see smoke from the engine. If this occurs, carefully move away from traffic and pull over to a safe location as soon as possible. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive the vehicle. Contact BMW Roadside Assistance at 1-800-332-4269 immediately to have your vehicle brought to the nearest authorized BMW center. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers of this important information. If you are a vehicle lessor, Federal Regulations require you to forward this notice to your lessee within ten days What will BMW do? The EGR Cooler will be replaced, and the intake manifold will be checked and, if necessary replaced, for free which could take between 3 and 5 hours. There may be some options to help overcome the inconvenience of bringing your vehicle in for service, if needed. Contact your local BMW center to check what may be available.

Visite bmwusa.com/dealer para encontrar su centro de BMW más cercano. ¿Qué podría suceder? Podría producirse una fuga interna en el enfriador de la recirculación de gases de escape (EGR) del motor. El líquido refrigerante podría mezclarse con los depósitos de hollín típicos de los motores diésel. Con las altas temperaturas que normalmente se dan en el módulo de EGR, esto podría producir partículas incandescentes. Si estas partículas entran en contacto con el colector de admisión del motor, podrían crear pequeños agujeros al derretirse, lo que aumentaría el riesgo de incendio. Si siente un olor desagradable, como a gases de escape, y escucha un ruido raro en el compartimento del motor, es posible que su vehículo esté teniendo este problema. Puede que vea humo saliendo del motor. Si esto ocurre, aléjese con cuidado del tránsito y deténgase en un lugar seguro lo antes posible. Todos los ocupantes deben salir del vehículo con cuidado y trasladarse a un lugar seguro, lejos del tránsito. No siga conduciendo el vehículo.

Production Dates : MAY 07, 2013 – JUN 19, 2017 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : This safety recall involves the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) module with an integrated cooling component (“cooler”). Over time, it is possible for an internal leak to start within the EGR cooler. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : During vehicle operation, if an internal coolant leak were to start within the EGR cooler, the fluid could mix with normal diesel engine soot/sediment. In combination with high temperatures normally present in the EGR module, this might result in smoldering particles. In very rare cases, this could lead to the melting of the intake manifold, and in extremely rare cases result in a possible fire. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : During vehicle operation, the driver may be alerted to this condition by one or more of the following: A warning symbol in the instrument cluster displaying a loss of engine coolant, a reduction in engine power, an unpleasant odor (exhaust gas), an unusual noise from the engine compartment, and/or smoke from the engine compartment. Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-907 Page 5 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 1 : NR Component Description : NR Component Part Number : NR Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : KORENS Inc. Address : 116, Eogokgongdan-ro, Yangsan-si Gyeongsangnam-do Foreign States 50591 Country : Korea, Democratic People’s Republic of Chronology : Please refer to BMW’s October 25, 2018 Part 573 report to which assigned Recall ID 18V-755. After the implementation of 18V-755, the field continued to be monitored for any further actions, if warranted. After the implementation of 18V-755, foreign recall 20F-080 was implemented. However, substantially similar vehicles in the US had the improved EGR module which appeared to be effective and, therefore, no US efforts were warranted.] After continuous field monitoring, and a comprehensive review of field data, it was indicated that the EGR cooler may not be sufficiently robust over the vehicle’s lifetime. The field data indicated that there was a limited thermal event on a 4-cylinder and a 6-cylinder vehicle which occurred after these vehicles had the 18V-755 recall performed. Therefore, it was decided to readdress this issue and replace the EGR module on all potentially affected vehicles with an improved cooler designed and produced by a new EGR cooler supplier. BMW vehicle assembly records were reviewed to determine the number and production range of potentially affected vehicles. On November 12, 2021, in an abundance of caution, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-907 Page 6 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The EGR cooler will be replaced. The intake manifold will be checked and replaced if necessary. The EGR pipe connecting the cooler to the manifold will be cleaned. Owners will be notified by First Class mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized BMW center to have the remedy performed for free. Owners who have replaced the EGR cooler at their own expense prior to the recall notification may be eligible for reimbursement according to BMW Group’s reimbursement plan in accordance with 49 CFR 573.13 and 49 CFR 577.11. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Recalled Component: EGR cooler; p/n – model dependent (7823210, 8517724, 8513693) Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : NR Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Notification to dealers is planned to begin and end on November 18, 2021. Notification to owners is planned to begin and end on January 12, 2022. Planned Dealer Notification Date : NOV 19, 2021 – NOV 19, 2021 Planned Owner Notification Date : JAN 12, 2022 – JAN 12, 2022 * NR – Not Reported
