The heater for the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve may short circuit.
An electrical short can cause the PCV valve heater to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire while driving or, soon after driving when parked.
This recall supersedes and expands previous NHTSA recalls 17V-683 and 19V-273. Dealers will install an electrical wiring harness with fuse protection for the PCV Valve heater in potentially affected vehicles, free of charge. This recall supersedes and expands previous NHTSA recalls 17V-683 and 19V-273. Vehicles previously repaired under the prior recalls will need to come back for the new recall remedy. The remedy is currently being developed. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on April 1, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 22, 2022. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

Engine and engine cooling, cooling system, fanAug 10, 2012
This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by Valeo. Valeo is recalling certain engine cooling fans, part numbers 696121, 696273, and 696275, used as service replacement parts for model year 2008-2011 BMW 1-Series, 2006-2011 BMW 3-Series, 2000-2009 BMW 5-Series, 2004-2005 BMW 6-Series, and 2006-2007 BMW 7-Series vehicles. A metal-oxide semiconductor may overheat due to insufficient screwing of the semiconductor on the aluminum heat sink. This primary failure could cause adjacent components on the fan assembly motor circuit board to overheat and short.
This condition could cause the fan motor to become inoperative, or cause the motor circuit board in the assembly to overheat, potentially leading to a fire in the engine compartment.
Valeo will notify owners and replace the fans free of charge. The safety recall began on August 22, 2012. This recall is being conducted by Valeo, not by BMW. For further information, owners may contact Valeo at 1-888-718-2536.

BMW IS RECALLING 200,000 MY 2006 3 SERIES SPORT SEAT, MY 2004-2006 5 SERIES STANDARD AND SPORT SEAT, AND MY 2004-2006 X3 PASSENGER VEHICLES.

TOOK MY BMW TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED (DUE TO SERVICE LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL) AND WAS TOLD AFTER I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE IT ALSO HAD TWO OTHER SERVICE PROBLEMS: 1. OIL FILTER HOUSING NEEDED TO BE RESEALED A $400.00 JOB AND 2. ALTERNATOR TENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A $650.00 JOB. I DID NOT DO THE REPAIR. CAME HOME, GOT ON INTERNET AND DID RESEARCH. THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMERS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THESE REPAIRS, AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WERE TOLD OF THESE SAME TWO ITEMS TO BE SERVICED AFTER HAVING A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED IN THEIR BMW'S. SUPPOSEDLY, BMW IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SINCE THAT ALL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE TO REPLACE THEIR BATTERY IS BEING TOLD TO SERVICE THE SAME ITEMS. *TR

AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRIED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I PULLED THE HANDLE AND TRIED THE KEY FOB AND NOTHING WOULD MAKE IT UNLOCK. I HAD TO CRAWL TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IT IS A KNOWN FUSE PROBLEM THAT IS FAULTY AND VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEED TO ESCAPE YOUR VEHICLE QUICKLY. HAVING A DRIVER DOOR THAT ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT OPEN IS A COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR COMMON SENSE AND PUBLIC SAFETY. *TR

A BOLT BROKE ON THE VALVE COVER. IT'S NOT FROM COLD WEATHER OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE, IT'S CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. WHEN ADVISED BY VALLEY BMW IN MODESTO I LEARNED THIS HAPPENS IN MOST OF THESE MODELS THAT YEAR. IT'S FROM OVER TORQUING THE BOLT OR A FAULTY BOLT OR SOMETHING ELSE BUT IT'S CLEARLY NOT THE FAULT OF THE CONSUMER. MINE BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND IT CAUSES THE OIL TO LEAK ON THE EXHAUST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON THE OIL PAN! HTTP://MSAUCEDA1.BLOGSPOT.COM/2013/07/BMW-330I-2006-BROKEN-BOLTS-VALVE-COVER.HTML IT COSTS OVER $1000 TO FIX AND AFTER RESEARCHING FURTHER, I FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT AND MANY CONSUMERS AS WELL AS REPAIR SERVICES ARE FRUSTRATED AND UNDERSTANDABLY ANGRY.

VEHICLE HAS 148,000 MILES. THE AIR BAG AND SEATBELT LIGHT HAVE BEEN COMING ON FOR OVER A YEAR. THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED BY BMW FOR US IN 2010. OUR MECHANIC TOLD US ABOUT THE CURRENT RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. OUR CAR DOES HAVE THE SPORT SEATS AND DOES FALL WITHIN THE DATES OF MANUFACTURE (JAN, 2006) . HOWEVER, AFTER SPEAKING WITH [XXX] AT BMW TODAY SHE INFORMED ME THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. OBVIOUSLY IT IS THE PART THAT IS BAD NOT THE AGE OF THE PART. I FEEL THAT OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM NOT SO SURE THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD EVEN WORK IF WE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WE BOUGHT A BMW WITH ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT ERROR CODE. AFTER RESEARCHING IT, WE FOUND OUT THE FIX IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ($1200+) AND MOST PEOPLE REPORT IF YOU EVEN HIT A POT HOLE IN ROAD, IT WILL CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION AGAIN. THE LIGHTS REMAIN FIXED IN A INCORRECT POSITION THEREFORE CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE ROAD IS IMPROPERLY LIT. *TR

THE MESSAGE 'STEERING WHEEL LOCK' CAME UP AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAD TO PAY TO BRING IT HOME. BMW SAYS 'IT HAPPENS TO SOME CUSTOMERS' AND THEY ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR TO A SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR. I SEE A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS IN FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY IT IS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE LOCK MECHANISM. *TR

WHEN A PASSENGER SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, PERIODICALLY RECEIVE MESSAGE FROM BMW325I ALERT SYSTEM STATING THAT THE AIRBAG/SEAT BELT SYSTEM FOR PASSENGER SEAT IS FAULTY IN ITS OPERATION AND NEEDS TO BE CHECKED IMMEDIATELY.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A STANDARD OIL CHANGE AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE LIGHT TURNING SIGNAL NOT WORKING AND I ALSO ADVISED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE AIR BAG FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ME MORE THAN 800 DOLLARS. I QUESTIONED IF IT WAS PART OF THE MOST RECENT RECALL BUT WAS ADVISED NO. SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE OF THE SAME VEHICLE AND ISSUE AND NOT BEING INCLUDED, THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. PLEASE ADVISE HOW CARS ARE PICKED AS IT SEEMS THE CARS THAT WERE NOT NOTIFIED ARE THE ONES THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT OR SIMILAR ISSUE OF WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR. I RECENTLY MOVED AS WELL SO I'M WONDERING WHAT HAPPENS IF THE LETTER IF THERE WAS ONE WAS SENT TO THE INCORRECT PLACE. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING A PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM MALFUNCTION ALERT/ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE COVERED BY A RECENT BMW RECALL I FOUND ON YOUR WEBSITE. THIS ALERT STARTED TO COME UP IN MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO, BUT IT NOW STAYS ON. I HEARD ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS WAITING FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM BMW BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY. I WENT TO THE BMW CENTER IN ALEXANDRIA, VA THIS WEEK (8/15/14) TO SEE IF THIS WAS COVERED BY THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT. I ALSO CALLED THEIR 1-800 CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. HOWEVER, I JUST FOUND A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS ISSUE (SEE LINK BELOW) ON THIS WEBSITE WHERE IT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES MY MODEL YEAR CAR (BMW 2006 325XI). MY CAR IS NOW NOT PASSING VA INSPECTION DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THIS REPAIR WOULD COST OVER $2,000, WHICH I DON'T HAVE AT THIS MOMENT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO HOW I CAN BEST EXPEDITE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS UNDER THIS RECALL, TO DEAL WITH THIS SECURITY ISSUE AND SO THAT I CAN RENEW MY INSPECTION STICKER AS REQUIRED BY VA LAW.
