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.
