Q2. What is the specific issue?
This issue involves the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve heater (“blow-by-heater”) which is designed to prevent the engine’s PCV valve from freezing. The electrical contacts of the PCV valve heater are coated with a plastic material. Irregularities in the manufacturing process could allow moisture to occur near the PCV valve heater and lead to a short circuit.
Q3. What can happen as a result of this issue?
In rare cases, the plastic material could overheat, lead to smoldering, and possibly melting. In extremely rare cases, this could increase the risk of a fire.
Q4. This sounds familiar. Did BMW Group conduct a Safety Recall before?
Yes, in 2017. It was assigned Recall ID 17V-683.
Q5. What vehicles were recalled in 2017?
Certain Model Year 2007-2011 vehicles were recalled.
Q6. Can you be more specific?
Sure, the 2017 Safety Recall involved 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, X3 SAV, X5 SAV, and Z4 models.
Q7. I own a Model Year 2006 vehicle. Why is BMW only adding the Model Year 2006 vehicles now?
Continued monitoring of the situation has led us to include Model Year 2006 vehicles.
Q8. Why are other vehicles not included in this Safety Recall?
Other models have different designs for the PCV valve heater.
Q9. Do I need to stop driving my vehicle?
No. The possibility of this issue occurring is extremely rare.
However, you should stop driving your vehicle if any of the following warning signs occur:
- You see smoke from the area near the engine compartment.
- You smell smoke, or a plastic burning odor.
If any of these warning signs occur, then as soon as possible, carefully move away from traffic, pull over to a safe location, and shut off the engine. All occupants should carefully exit the vehicle and move to a safe location away from traffic. Do not continue to drive your vehicle.
Dial 911 in the event of an emergency or contact an authorized BMW center immediately to have your vehicle brought to the nearest authorized BMW center for inspection and, if necessary, repair.
If an authorized BMW center is not available, then contact BMW Roadside Assistance at 1-800332-4269. Please note that if you no longer have roadside coverage, you may be required to pay in advance for the towing service. However, BMW will reimburse you for the towing service after validation of the recall repair claim.
Q10. Can I determine if this issue exists in my vehicle?
No. This can only be determined through proper inspection at an authorized BMW center.
Q11. How did BMW become aware of the problem?
BMW became aware of the problem through our quality control procedures.
Q12. How will I be informed of this Safety Recall?
You will receive an initial letter in early June via First Class mail advising you of this Safety Recall. Due to the large vehicle population, sufficient parts may not be immediately available to repair all vehicles. Therefore, you may receive a second letter as parts become available. When you receive a letter indicating that parts are available, please immediately schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW center to have this Safety Recall performed. The nearest authorized BMW center can be located at www.bmwusa.com/dealer.
To ensure BMW has the most recent contact and vehicle information, owners should register their vehicle at www.bmwusa.com/myBMW. Registration is free, and will give them access to factory initiated campaigns and other information specific to their BMW.
Q13. How will my vehicle be repaired?
The PCV valve heater will be inspected and a new part will be installed. In some cases, additional components may need to be replaced which will be determined at the time of repair.
Q14. How long will the repair take?
This repair should take approximately one to two hours, depending upon the specific repair necessary; however, additional time may be required depending upon your BMW center’s schedule. The repair will be performed for free by your authorized BMW center.
Q15. Do I have to wait for my letter to have my vehicle serviced?
Yes. We are in the process of implementing this Safety Recall to ensure that the necessary parts, tools, and procedures are available, prior to contacting you to schedule your vehicle to have this Safety Recall performed. For the latest updates to this recall, please visit www.bmwusa.com/recall.
Q16. I see the “TREAD Act Customer Reimbursement Plan” attached to my 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.
