SITUATION
BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective March 2, 2022) on certain Model Year 2006 2013 BMW vehicles that were produced between January 19, 2005 and October 9, 2013.
This issue involves the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve heater (“blow-by-heater”). The blow-byheater which is designed to prevent the engine’s Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system from freezing can internally short circuit. Irregularities in the manufacturing process could allow moisture to occur near the blow-by-heater and lead to the short circuit. In extremely rare cases, this could increase the risk of a fire.
Similar recalls were conducted in 2017 (17V-683) and 2019 (19V-273) for Model Years 2006-2011. Most of the vehicles in those recalls are in this new recall, and now includes Model Year 2012 and 2013.
Vehicles with the N52T engine are no longer affected.
The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.
CORRECTION
Retrofit additional circuit protection to isolate the circuit of the blow by heater from the other vehicle systems.
PROCEDURE
Install P/N 12 51 5 A6A 0E2 “Cable Harness Repair Kit” as per Repair Instruction 00 72 067 “Retrofitting component protection and checking function of angle fitting”.

Chronology :
Please refer to BMW Part 573 reports assigned NHTSA Recall IDs 17V-683 and 19V-273 which involve Model Year 2007-2011 and Model Year 2006, vehicles respectively.
On Feb 21, 2019, a field incident was reported involving a thermal event in the engine compartment. At the time, it appeared to be an isolated incident. In 2020, (Apr 29, Dec 10), similar reports were received. . Each of these vehicles had received the previous recall remedy. Vehicle inspection findings were inconclusive.
In Jan 2021 (13th, 18th), two field incidents were reported. On April 30th, a field incident was reported. At that time, thoughts focused upon the possibility of a service repair issue. The field continued to be monitored.
In Sep (11th, 29th), two field incidents were reported.
In January 2022, the engineering investigation included a detailed parts collection and analysis. Recall parts from field vehicles, which had the remedy performed, were returned for testing and analyses. Similarly, recall parts from stock were retrieved for testing and analyses. Ultrasound, microscopy, and x-ray techniques were utilized to closely examine and compare the parts.
Supplier production and process records involving recall parts were reviewed, including the injection molding process, and the production rate ramp-up of recall parts in early 2018 at the implementation of 17V-683. By the end of February, it was determined that supplier production and process issues could cause unwanted production variation and, over time, lead to PCV valve heater damage in the field.
On March 2, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall for vehicles involved in 17V-683 and 19V-273 and implement a new remedy. Also, in an abundance of caution, BMW has decided to recall Model Year 2012-2013 vehicles which were manufactured with the same engine and PCV valve heater configuration.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

SITUATION BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective March 2, 2022) on certain Model Year 2006 – 2013 BMW vehicles that were produced between January 19, 2005 and October 9, 2013. This issue involves the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve heater (“blow-by-heater”). The blow-byheater which is designed to prevent the engine’s Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system from freezing can internally short circuit. Irregularities in the manufacturing process could allow moisture to occur near the blow-by-heater and lead to the short circuit. In extremely rare cases, this could increase the risk of a fire. Similar recalls were conducted in 2017 (17V-683) and 2019 (19V-273) for Model Years 2006-2011. Most of the vehicles in those recalls are in this new recall, and now includes Model Year 2012 and 2013. Vehicles with the N52T engine are no longer affected. The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information.

Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-119 Page 8 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 1 : PCV Valve Heater Component Description : PCV Valve Heater Component Part Number : 7 561 408, 2 458 830 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Mahle International GmbH Address : Pragstrasse 26-46 Stuttgart Foreign States 70376 Country : Germany Chronology : Please refer to BMW Part 573 reports assigned NHTSA Recall IDs 17V-683 and 19V-273 which involve Model Year 2007-2011 and Model Year 2006, vehicles respectively. In early 2019, a field incident was reported involving a thermal event in the engine compartment. At the time, it appeared to be an isolated incident. In mid-2020, a similar report was received. By the end of 2020, three reports had been received. Each of these vehicles had received the previous recall remedy. Vehicle inspection findings were inconclusive. In early 2021, three additional field incidents were reported. At that time, thoughts focused upon the possibility of a service repair issue. The field continued to be monitored, and by the end of 2021, two additional field incidents were reported. In January 2022, the engineering investigation included a detailed parts collection and analysis. Recall parts from field vehicles, which had the remedy performed, were returned for testing and analyses. Similarly, recall parts from stock were retrieved for testing and analyses. Ultrasound, microscopy, and x-ray techniques were utilized to closely examine and compare the parts. Supplier production and process records involving recall parts were reviewed, including the injection molding process, and the production rate ramp-up of recall parts in early 2018 at the implementation of 17V-683. By the end of February, it was determined that supplier production and process issues could cause unwanted production variation and, over time, lead to PCV valve heater damage in the field. On March 2, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall for vehicles involved in 17V-683 and 19V-273 and implement a new remedy. Also, in an abundance of caution, BMW has decided to recall Model Year 2012-2013 vehicles which were manufactured with the same engine and PCV valve heater configuration. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-119 Page 9 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.

Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-119 Page 8 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Component Name 1 : PCV Valve Heater Component Description : PCV Valve Heater Component Part Number : 7 561 408, 2 458 830 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Mahle International GmbH Address : Pragstrasse 26-46 Stuttgart Foreign States 70376 Country : Germany Chronology : Please refer to BMW Part 573 reports assigned NHTSA Recall IDs 17V-683 and 19V-273 which involve Model Year 2007-2011 and Model Year 2006, vehicles respectively. On Feb 21, 2019, a field incident was reported involving a thermal event in the engine compartment. At the time, it appeared to be an isolated incident. In 2020, (Apr 29, Dec 10), similar reports were received. . Each of these vehicles had received the previous recall remedy. Vehicle inspection findings were inconclusive. In Jan 2021 (13th, 18th), two field incidents were reported. On April 30th, a field incident was reported. At that time, thoughts focused upon the possibility of a service repair issue. The field continued to be monitored. In Sep (11th, 29th), two field incidents were reported. In January 2022, the engineering investigation included a detailed parts collection and analysis. Recall parts from field vehicles, which had the remedy performed, were returned for testing and analyses. Similarly, recall parts from stock were retrieved for testing and analyses. Ultrasound, microscopy, and x-ray techniques were utilized to closely examine and compare the parts. Supplier production and process records involving recall parts were reviewed, including the injection molding process, and the production rate ramp-up of recall parts in early 2018 at the implementation of 17V-683. By the end of February, it was determined that supplier production and process issues could cause unwanted production variation and, over time, lead to PCV valve heater damage in the field. On March 2, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall for vehicles involved in 17V-683 and 19V-273 and implement a new remedy. Also, in an abundance of caution, BMW has decided to recall Model Year 2012-2013 vehicles which were manufactured with the same engine and PCV valve heater configuration. BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-119 Page 9 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 issue.
