Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW is recalling certain 2013-2018 BMW diesel vehicles, including 328d, 535d, 740Ld, X3 xDrive28d, and X5 xDrive35d models. The issue involves an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler that can leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot. This mixture can smolder and melt the intake manifold, increasing the risk of fire.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the EGR cooler at no charge. If a leak has already occurred, the engine intake manifold will also be replaced for free. Owners of affected vehicles should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to arrange service.
