BMW Fire Hazard Recall | BMW Dealership St Louis MO

BMW has issued two recalls involving about one million cars and sport utility vehicles, including the 3 Series and X5, that are at risk of catching fire even when they are not in use. The first recall covers more than 672,000 cars. It includes several BMW 3 Series models from 2006-11 with wiring and electrical conductors in the climate control system that are vulnerable to overheating. The second, larger recall involves the 2008-11 128i and various other 2007-11 models with six-cylinder engine. In these vehicles, the heater designed to keep the positive crankcase ventilation from freezing has the potential to short-circuit, causing the parts inside its valve to melt. The crankcase ventilation system helps gases escape from an internal combustion engine. BMW dealers will replace the recalled components without charge. Plaza BMW is dedicated to helping those who have a vehicle affected by this recall.

How do I know whether my car is affected by the recall?

There are several ways to check whether your specific car is affected. You'll need your vehicle identification number, VIN, found in the lower driver-side corner of the windshield (observable from outside the vehicle), as well as on your registration and insurance documents. Punch that number into NHTSA's online VIN-lookup tool. If your vehicle is affected, the site will tell you so. NHTSA also has a list of vehicles available for a quick review, and the manufacturers have ownership sections on their websites for such information. Or you can call any franchised dealer for your car brand.

How important is that I respond to the recall?

All recalls, by definition, are concerned with safety and should be treated seriously. As with all recalls, we recommend having the work performed as soon as parts are available and the service can be scheduled.
