Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 112 model year 2018 328D series diesel vehicles, including the SportsWagon and xDrive models, because of a potential internal coolant leak in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) module. The leaking coolant can mix with diesel engine soot, creating smoldering particles that may melt the vehicle's intake manifold. Dealers will replace the EGR cooler, clean the connecting pipes, and inspect or replace the intake manifold at no cost to owners.

Risk

A internal leak in the cooling module can cause parts of the engine's intake system to melt and ignite, which significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
