BMW announces a recall of 32,000
Anyone knows something about this news?
Does includes X6m's ? "BMW announces a recall of 32,000 vehicles to replace potentially faulty electric auxiliary water pumps that can overheat and cause a vehicle fire. The Munich-based automaker says the recall applies to 2008-2011 5 Series, 5 Series Gran Turismo, 7 Series, X5 and X6 models that have 8 or 12-cylinder turbocharged engines. BMW found at least 102 cases of pump failures worldwide, including two engine-compartment fires which drew the recall process. For Detroit News, BMW said it is unaware of any crashes or injuries as a result of the condition" |

I just found out that my dealer changed the auxiliary water pumps for the turbos when I had battery issues, they tought the pumps were draining my battery, last Friday he called me and told me that my VIN # is not on the list of cars affected, your dealer can tell you easily if your car is on the list or not, good luck

Doesn't apply to 3.5i.
That's according to my SA, as of 5 minutes ago.
Also, he advised that many if not all of the dealers are still without parts, so anyone affected will probably have to be patient on getting this done. FYI. |
