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.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE VIA MAIL 07-03-2017 THAT NECESSARY PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL WERE AVAILABLE BUT BMW DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL STATED PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. THE BMW REP TOLD ME TO CALL BACK IN A FEW WEEKS - PARTS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY I WOULD RECEIVE THIS NOTICE IF PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
Air bags, Jun 28, 2017
THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR OVER A YEAR AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY APPOINTMENT TO FIX THE MATTER. WHEN THE RECALL FIRST HAPPENED I WAS VERY PREGNANT AND I CALLED BMW TELLING THEM I WAS CONCERNED. THEY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE FIXED BY 9/16 AND I AM STILL WAITING AND MY BABY WILL TURN 1 ON JULY 1,2017. WHEN WILL MY AIR BAGS BE FIXED? THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS MATTER.

Other or unspecified, Jun 2, 2017, fire
WE CAME HOME AND PARKED THE BMW IN THE ATTACHED GARAGE. TEN MINUTES LATER I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE GARAGE. I LOOKED INTO THE GARAGE AND FOUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE BMW ON FIRE. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO CAME AS QUICKLY AS A VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT CAN. BY THE TIME THE FIRE WAS OUT BOTH CARS IN THE GARAGE AND THE HOUSE HAD BEEN BADLY BURNED.

Fuel/propulsion system, May 13, 2017
BMW ISSUED A RECALL - SI B13 14 10 - AND IT COVERS REPLACING INJECTORS, IF THE CAR FALLS UNDER A CERTAIN DATE AND HAS A CERTAIN BATCH OF INJECTOR. MOST IMPORTANTLY, ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RECALL BULLETIN STATES: "WARRANTY INFO" - AND IT SPECIFICALLY SAYS, "THE REPAIR DESCRIBED IN THIS BULLETIN IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY REGARDLESS OF TIME OR MILEAGE." THE CAR HAD THE INJECTOR(S) FAIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, AND VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT STEVENS CREEK BMW. THE DEALERS/MANUFACTURER ARE REFUSING TO HONOR THE RECALL NOTICE THAT I HANDED TO THEM - EVEN THOUGH IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT OR MILEAGE LIMIT TO REPLACING THE INJECTORS... 3 OF THE INJECTORS WERE REPLACED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, BUT 3 WERE NOT, AND THE INJECTOR THAT FAILED IS PART OF THE BATCH THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THE TECHNICIAN DECIDED NOT TO YEARS AGO. THEY ARE SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL - ALTHOUGH IT CLEARLY SAYS "VOLUNTARY RECALL". BECAUSE THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT AND THE MILES DO NOT COUNT AGAINST THE RECALL (ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN) THE INJECTORS SHOULD BE REPLAECD (AND SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN) WITHOUT ANY CUSTOMER NEEDING TO PAY ANYTHING, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE RECALL IS FOR AND THAT IS WHAT IT DIRECTLY SAYS. BUT THE DEALERSHIP (STEVENS CREEK BMW) AND BMW NA OR SAYING THEY WON'T HONOR THE RECALL OR TELL ME WHY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BECAUSE MY CAR IS STRANDED OVER THERE AND THEY WANT $3500 TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT BMW SAYS SHOULD ALREADY BE REPLACED (REGARDLESS OF TIME OR MILEAGE).
Fuel/propulsion system, May 11, 2017

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.
Steering, Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, May 3, 2017
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT LOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATES AND POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS. I HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER LOSING POWER EACH TIME (IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY 5 TIMES NOW). THE CAR WILL NOT START AFTER IT LOSES POWER AND PUTS UP A RANDOM CHECK ENGINE ERROR. SOMETIMES, AFTER SITTING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, IT WILL START UP, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY RANDOM, AS IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES, BUT NOT ALWAYS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO BMW SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS AND ASSURED ME IT IS FIXED, BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. I REALIZE THE CAR IS A 2009 MODEL, AND IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT, BUT THIS TYPE OF POWER LOSS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE BMW DEALER. I HAVE SPECIFIED THE LAST INCIDENT IN THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" QUESTION BELOW, BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO.

ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS.
Electrical system, Engine, Apr 23, 2017
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I ACCELERATE AND WITHOUT WARNING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" AND VARIOUS OTHER LIGHTS, POWER STEERING GOES OUT, AND I HAVE TO MANEUVER CAR ACROSS LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO A SAFE SHOULDER. I TURN ON HAZARDS, REMOVE KEY AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES. THE CAR TURNS OVER BUT DOESN'T START. I WAIT LONGER, TURN OFF HAZARDS, RE-INSERT KEY AND CAR STARTS UP. I AM ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, BUT AVOID HARD THROTTLE. THIS HAPPENED 2 MONTHS AGO, AND I TOOK IT TO A LICENSED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND REPLACED IT. THE CAR THEN HAD VACUUM LEAK FOLLOWED BY A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF VALVE COVER. THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED ON THE INTERSTATE WAS IDENTICAL TO WHAT OCCURRED BEFORE THOSE REPAIRS WERE DONE AND BEARS A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO ISSUES DESCRIBED IN THE 2013 BATTERY CABLE RECALL, YET MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A COMPLAINT FILED REGARDING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE I HAD WITH MY VEHICLE WHICH RESULTED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10781956. MY CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS, 4 OF 6 AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG FROM THE DRIVER SIDE CAUSED INJURIES TO MY FACE AND ARM. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM BMW 4 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT RESULTED IN THE NEED FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY DUE TO THE INJURIES TO MY ARM AND SHOULDER FROM THE IMPACT OF THE AIRBAG, WHICH ALSO CUT MY FOREARM. THE STEERING WHEEL ON MY VEHICLE FROZE WHILE DRIVING AND IN MY ATTEMPT TO GET THE WHEEL TO TURN, MY BRAKES ALSO FAILED. I HAD BOTH ARMS COVERING THE WHEEL TO TRY AND GET IT TO BUDGE. THE ONLY WAY MY VEHICLE STOPPED WAS BECAUSE I CRASHED INTO A CAR WAITING AT THE OPPOSITE LIGHT. BOTH ARMS WERE COVERING THE AIRBAG AT THE TIME IT DEPLOYED.

I SEE THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR EARLIER MODELS INVOLVING THE SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR MATS CRACKING.

I HAD MY CAR SCANNED AND THE ERROR CODE IS 93C3 PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY DETECTOR. I AM NOW CONCERNED IF AIRBAG AND SEATBELT WILL WORK IN CASE OF COLLISION
Air bags, Mar 5, 2017
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM BMW (RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 16V-071) A YEAR AGO. THE RECALL NOTICE INFORMS ME THAT THE AIRBAG CAN RUPTURE IN AN ACCIDENT AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS TO THE DRIVER (MYSELF) AND OTHER PASSENGERS. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE THAT STILL HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSES AND RESOLVED BY BMW. THE RECALL NOTICE ADVISES ME THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL AND THAT BMW WILL ADVISE ME WHEN THERE ARE. SINCE IT HAS BEEN A YEAR SINCE THIS NOTICE, THIS IS NOW REACHING AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT A CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR RESOLUTION ON A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS. I WOULD LIKE BMW TO PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER BMW VEHICLE OR LIKE MODEL UNTIL THEY CORRECT AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.
