An engineering analysis was initiated, and the supplier was contacted. A review of supplier records indicated that a production tooling issue had occurred which may have led to certain fuel rails not being produced to specifications. The supplier performed a parts sorting process to remove potentially affected parts. Supplier production tooling was updated, and subsequent initial parts produced were analyzed and determined to be within specifications. Initial reviews suggested that all potentially affected parts had been removed from the supply chain. However, testing and analyses of parts produced prior to the date of the production tooling issue were performed and indicated that these parts may also not have been produced to specifications. As a result, all parts produced from the last production tooling verification date were identified, and a parts traceability was performed to identify potentially affected engines. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-513 Page 4 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 On July 13, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall.
