Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler
Safety Recall 22V-614
Model Year 2018
BMW
540d xDrive
Diesel Engines (6-cyl. โ B57O)
Last updated: August 10, 2022
Q1. Which BMW
Group models in the US are potentially affected by this Safety Recall?
Certain Model Year 2018 BMW
540d xDrive vehicles with a 6-cylinder (โB57Oโ) diesel engine in the US are potentially affected.
Q2. What is the specific issue?
The issue involves the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system which contains an integrated cooling component (โCoolerโ). Over time, a leak of cooling fluid (glycol), could develop in the EGR Cooler.
Q3. What can happen as a result of this issue?
If cooling fluid leaks in the EGR Cooler, and combines with typical diesel engine soot deposits while the temperature is high (which is normal), this could create smoldering particles. In very rare cases, these particles could contact the engine intake manifold and cause damage by creating small holes in the manifold due to melting. In extremely rare cases, due to the holes in the manifold, this could increase the risk of a fire. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers of this important information.
Q4. Are BMW
Group models, which are not Diesel, affected? Why not?
No. They are not affected because they have a different engine design.
Q5. How did BMW
Group become aware of this issue?
BMW
Group became aware of this issue through its quality control procedures.
Q6. Can I determine if this issue exists in my vehicle?
While itโs highly unlikely that this issue will occur, if your vehicle has 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. In rare cases, you may see smoke from the engine.
Q7. What should I do if I notice this condition in my vehicle?
If this condition occurs, pull off the road to a safe location away from traffic, and switch off the engine. Do not open the hood. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive your vehicle.
Contact BMW
Roadside Assistance at 1-800-332-4269 immediately to have your vehicle brought to the nearest authorized BMW
center. You may be responsible to pay for the tow if you no longer have coverage and reimbursement will be considered should the issue be confirmed to be related to this recall.
Q8. Can I continue to drive my vehicle (before I get my vehicle repaired)?
Yes. The likelihood of this issue occurring to your vehicle is extremely low. However, when you receive a letter asking you to have this Safety Recall performed by an authorized BMW
center, please do so as soon as possible.
Q9. How will I be informed of this Safety Recall?
Owners of potentially affected vehicles will receive a letter in October via First Class mail advising them of this Safety Recall. When parts become available, they will receive another letter, requesting they schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW
center as soon as possible to have this Safety Recall performed. For the latest updates to this Safety Recall, please visit bmwusa.com/recall.
To ensure BMW
has your recent contact and vehicle information, owners should visit bmwusa.com/recall and click on โManage recall notices and contact informationโ.
Q10. How will my vehicle be repaired?
The EGR Cooler will be replaced with an improved version. If it is determined that the EGR Cooler has leaked, the engine intake manifold will also be replaced.
Q11. How long will the repair take?
The repair will be performed for free, and could take up to several hours to perform.
Q12. Do I have to wait for my letter to have my vehicle serviced?
Yes. We are in the process of implementing this Safety Recall campaign to ensure that the necessary parts are at the BMW
centers. For the latest updates to this Safety Recall, please visit bmwusa.com/recall.
Q13. I see a reference to the โTREAD Act Customer Reimbursement Planโ in my customer letter. Can you explain what that is about? Am I eligible for reimbursement?
If you have already had this repair performed at your own expense, you may be eligible for reimbursement of certain expenses that you incurred. Please visit bmwusa.com/recall and click on โReimbursement for Prior Customer Pay Repairs Related to a Safety Recall (TREAD Act)โ.
Chronology :
Please refer to BMW
โs November 19, 2021 Part 573 report (NHTSA Recall ID 21V-907), and October 25, 2018 Part 573 report (NHTSA Recall ID 18V-755). After implementation of these recalls, the field continued to be monitored for any further actions, if warranted.
The vehicles subject to this 2022 decision have a different design and manufacturer of the EGR cooler than the vehicles subject to 21V-907 and 18V-755. At the time, the field data for the vehicles subject to this 2022 decision indicated that an action was not necessary.
After further worldwide field monitoring, and a comprehensive review of field data, including statistical forecasting, it was indicated that the specific EGR cooler for the vehicles subject to this 2022 decision may not be sufficiently robust over a vehicleโs lifetime. Therefore, BMW
has decided to perform a worldwide field action for these specific vehicles, and to also include the US market. As of the 2022 decision, there are still no known incidents in the US.
On August 3, 2022, 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.

Recall 22V-614: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler BMW
AG is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall (effective August 11, 2022) on certain Model Year 2018 BMW
540d xDrive vehicles with a 6-cylinder (โB57Oโ) diesel engine that were produced between October 9, 2017 and June 25, 2018. Please note that similar recalls were conducted in 2021 and 2018. This new recall affects the remaining diesel engine model subject to the EGR Cooler recall. Over time, the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systemโs cooler could internally leak cooling fluid. If the fluid combines with diesel engine soot particles, this could damage the engine intake manifold, and increase the risk of a fire. The EGR cooler will need to be replaced. If a leak is detected in the intake manifold, it will also be replaced. The Recall Notice and Q&A have been attached for further information. The bulletin will be updated when additional information becomes available.

540d xDrive Diesel Engines (6-cyl. โ B57O) Last updated: August 10, 2022 Q1. Which BMW
Group models in the US are potentially affected by this Safety Recall? Certain Model Year 2018 BMW
540d xDrive vehicles with a 6-cylinder (โB57Oโ) diesel engine in the US are potentially affected. Q2. What is the specific issue? The issue involves the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system which contains an integrated cooling component (โCoolerโ). Over time, a leak of cooling fluid (glycol), could develop in the EGR Cooler. Q3. What can happen as a result of this issue? If cooling fluid leaks in the EGR Cooler, and combines with typical diesel engine soot deposits while the temperature is high (which is normal), this could create smoldering particles. In very rare cases, these particles could contact the engine intake manifold and cause damage by creating small holes in the manifold due to melting. In extremely rare cases, due to the holes in the manifold, this could increase the risk of a fire. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers of this important information. Q4. Are BMW Group models, which are not Diesel, affected? Why not? No. They are not affected because they have a different engine design. Q5. How did BMW Group become aware of this issue? BMW Group became aware of this issue through its quality control procedures. Q6. Can I determine if this issue exists in my vehicle? While itโs highly unlikely that this issue will occur, if your vehicle has 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. In rare cases, you may see smoke from the engine. Q7. What should I do if I notice this condition in my vehicle? If this condition occurs, pull off the road to a safe location away from traffic, and switch off the engine. Do not open the hood. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive your vehicle. Contact BMW Roadside Assistance at 1-800-332-4269 immediately to have your vehicle brought to the nearest authorized BMW center. You may be responsible to pay for the tow if you no longer have coverage and reimbursement will be considered should the issue be confirmed to be related to this recall. Q8. Can I continue to drive my vehicle (before I get my vehicle repaired)? Yes. The likelihood of this issue occurring to your vehicle is extremely low. However, when you receive a letter asking you to have this Safety Recall performed by an authorized BMW center, please do so as soon as possible. Q9. How will I be informed of this Safety Recall? Owners of potentially affected vehicles will receive a letter in October via First Class mail advising them of this Safety Recall. When parts become available, they will receive another letter, requesting they schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW center as soon as possible to have this Safety Recall performed. For the latest updates to this Safety Recall, please visit bmwusa.com/recall. To ensure BMW has your recent contact and vehicle information, owners should visit bmwusa.com/recall and click on โManage recall notices and contact informationโ. Q10. How will my vehicle be repaired?

If it is determined that the EGR Cooler has leaked, the engine intake manifold will also be replaced. Q11. How long will the repair take? The repair will be performed for free, and could take up to several hours to perform. Q12. Do I have to wait for my letter to have my vehicle serviced? Yes. We are in the process of implementing this Safety Recall campaign to ensure that the necessary parts are at the BMW centers. For the latest updates to this Safety Recall, please visit bmwusa.com/recall. Q13. I see a reference to the โTREAD Act Customer Reimbursement Planโ in my customer letter. Can you explain what that is about? Am I eligible for reimbursement? If you have already had this repair performed at your own expense, you may be eligible for reimbursement of certain expenses that you incurred.

Basis for recall population determination: Supplier production information was used to identify the start date and end date of potentially affected EGR modules, of a specific design configuration. Recall component difference to non-recall component: Recall component was not produced with sufficient long-term durability characteristics. Production Dates : OCT 09, 2017 – JUN 25, 2018 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 (โcoolerโ). 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, Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-614 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 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 : Component Name 1 : EGR module Component Description : EGR module Component Part Number : 8570655 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbH Address : Ziegeleistrasse 7 Lichtenau-Kleinenberg Foreign States Country : Germany Chronology : Please refer to BMWโs November 19, 2021 Part 573 report (NHTSA Recall ID 21V-907), and October 25, 2018 Part 573 report (NHTSA Recall ID 18V-755). After implementation of these recalls, the field continued to be monitored for any further actions, if warranted. The vehicles subject to this 2022 decision have a different design and manufacturer of the EGR cooler than the vehicles subject to 21V-907 and 18V-755. At the time, the field data for the vehicles subject to this 2022 decision indicated that an action was not necessary. After further worldwide field monitoring, and a comprehensive review of field data, including statistical forecasting, it was indicated that the specific EGR cooler for the vehicles subject to this 2022 decision may not be sufficiently robust over a vehicleโs lifetime. Therefore, BMW has decided to perform a worldwide field action for these specific vehicles, and to also include the US market. As of the 2022 decision, there are still no Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-614 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 known incidents in the US.
