Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
BMW is recalling certain 2006-2013 model year vehicles including 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5, and Z4 models due to a potential electrical short in the PCV valve heater. This electrical short can cause the heater to overheat, which increases the risk of fire while the vehicle is being driven or shortly after it is parked.
Dealers will install an electrical wiring harness with fuse protection for the PCV valve heater at no charge to owners. The remedy is currently being developed. Owners who had their vehicles repaired under previous recalls 17V-683 or 19V-273 will need to return to have the new remedy applied. Affected consumers should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
