¿Qué podría pasar?

Con el tiempo, el acoplamiento entre las bombas de combustible de alta presión y el motor podría dañarse.  Esto podría provocar una fuga de combustible.  Una fuga de combustible, en presencia de una fuente de ignición, podría provocar un incendio en el compartimiento del motor.

Una fuga de combustible puede detectarse visualmente o por el olor.  El motor puede pasar al modo de potencia reducida.  En ese caso, apártese del camino hacia un lugar seguro lejos del tráfico y apague el motor.  Todos los ocupantes deben salir del vehículo con cuidado y trasladarse a un lugar seguro lejos del tráfico. No siga conduciendo su vehículo.  Comuníquese de inmediato con BMW Roadside Assistance (Asistencia en la Carretera de BMW) al 1-800-332-4269 para que le lleven el vehículo al centro autorizado de BMW más cercano. Si no es el único conductor de este vehículo, comparta esta información importante con el resto de los conductores y pasajeros.

 

¿Qué hará BMW?

Las bombas de combustible de alta presión se remplazarán sin costo, lo que demorará aproximadamente cinco horas.

 

¿Qué ocurre si no soy el propietario actual de este vehículo?

Puede actualizar la información sobre la titularidad del vehículo o su información de contacto completando la tarjeta con respuesta postal paga adjunta o registrándose en https://www.bmwusa.com/myBMW. Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, las reglamentaciones federales requieren que reenvíe este aviso a su arrendatario dentro de los diez días.  

 

¿Qué debo hacer si tengo preguntas o si surgen problemas?

Para obtener las últimas actualizaciones de esta retirada, visite www.bmwusa.com/recall.  Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre la retirada, comuníquese con el centro autorizado de BMW.  En caso de necesitar asistencia adicional, comuníquese con el BMW Customer Relations and Services (Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW) por teléfono al 1-800-525-7417 o por correo electrónico a CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.

Si el centro de BMW no puede resolver el defecto sin cargo o dentro de un período razonable, puede notificar al administrador de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tráfico en Carreteras), 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590; llamar sin cargo a la Vehicle Safety Hotline (Línea directa de seguridad vehicular) al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) o visitar https://www.safercar.gov.
