Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW of North America is recalling certain 2013-2018 diesel-powered vehicles, including the 328d, 328d xDrive, 328d Sports Wagon, 535d, 740Ld xDrive, X3 xDrive28d, and X5 xDrive35d models. The recalled vehicles have an Exhaust Gas Recirculation cooler that may leak internally, allowing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot. This mixture can create smoldering particles that may cause the intake manifold to melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
To remedy the issue, authorized BMW dealers will replace the EGR cooler and inspect the intake manifold, replacing it if necessary, at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 6, 2022. Owners with affected vehicles should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for further information.
