BMW of North America, LLC is recalling 15 of its 540d xDrive vehicles that were previously repaired under a different recall. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler in these diesel vehicles may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot. This mixture can create smoldering particles that may melt the vehicle's intake manifold, leading to a potential engine fire. Owners of these specific 15 vehicles should have their cars inspected and repaired by a dealer free of charge.
A coolant leak inside the EGR module can cause smoldering particles to form and melt the intake manifold, which significantly increases the risk of a fire occurring in the engine compartment while driving.
Inspection and replacement of the EGR module and intake manifold.
