Recalls that may apply to the 1988 BMW 325iS

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

By component

United States: NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19
None found.
Canada: Transport Canada, as of 2026-10-19
19931001993-07-19. Heater And Defroster. On certain 318I, 325I and M3 vehicles, elevated pressure in the cooling system due to overheating could result in cracking of the heater core end piece. Should this happen, coolant could be expelled onto the lower right leg of the driver, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or fogging of the interior surfaces of the windows causing reduced driver vision. Correction: A thermistatic bypass valve will be installed to control coolant temperature in the heater core. Also, a new design radiator cap will be installed to control pressure and provide greater overflow.
19880491988-04-06. Engine. On certain 325IX vehicles, the oil dipstick tube attaching bracket may have been bent during the manufacturing process or during scheduled maintenance. This could possibly cause the dipstick to interfere with the throttle bellcrank lever's range of motion and prevent the lever from returning to the idle position after release of the accelerator pedal. Correction: Throttle bellcrank lever will be modified to provide sufficient clearance. Note: Vehicles with manual transmission only.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
