The affected vehicles have lower anchor bars for securing child restraint seats that may become damaged when using the European\-ISOFIX\-type, rigid\-style connector, child restraint system. Built 2010\-07\-02 to 2016\-04\-14. - [14V648000](/recalls/nhtsa/14V648000.md), 2014-10-16: VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR. BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2015 X3 and X4 Sports Activity Vehicles manufactured July 28, 2014 to July 29, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been produced with a driver's side exterior rearview mirror that was designed to meet non\-US market requirements. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 111, "Rearview Mirrors." Built 2014\-07\-28 to 2014\-07\-29. ## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19 - [2024544](/recalls/tc/2024544.md), 2024-08-15: Label. Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles. - [2024468](/recalls/tc/2024468.md), 2024-08-13: Engine. Issue: On certain vehicles, fluid from the positive crankcase ventilation \(PCV\) system could leak on the intake air hose. As a result, the fluid could enter the electrical connector for the water pump and cause a short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit can create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises you to park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the water pump and electrical connector. The dealer will also install a shield on the connector. - [2024392](/recalls/tc/2024392.md), 2024-07-03: Airbag. Issue: This recall applies to vehicles that may be equipped with a replacement sport or M\-sport steering wheel that has a Takata airbag. Long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the driver\-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety Risk: If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver\-front airbag module. To learn if your vehicle is affected by this recall, owners may: • Visit \ https://www.bmw.ca/en/ssl/VehicleRecall.html\ • Contact your preferred or local BMW Retailer • Call BMW Customer Relations Recall Services at 1\-855\-217\-3002 - [2021711](/recalls/tc/2021711.md), 2021-11-19: Engine. Issue: On certain vehicles, the exhaust gas recirculation \(EGR\) cooler could crack internally and leak. If this happens, you may notice the following symptoms: a warning symbol in the instrument cluster displaying a loss of coolant, reduced engine power, an unpleasant exhaust odour, an unusual noise from the engine and/or smoke from the engine compartment. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada Recall no. 2018\-587. Safety Risk: A cracked EGR cooler could create the risk of an engine fire. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the EGR cooler. The dealer will also inspect the intake manifold, and replace it, if necessary. - [2021469](/recalls/tc/2021469.md), 2021-07-29: Fuel System. Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the high\-pressure fuel pump may wear prematurely. This can cause reduced engine performance and could lead to a sudden engine stall. Note: A warning lamp on the instrument cluster will turn on if the fuel pressure drops. Safety Risk: A loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the high\-pressure fuel pump. - [2018587](/recalls/tc/2018587.md), 2018-10-26: Engine. This recall was replaced by Transport Canada Recall No. 2021\-711. On certain vehicles, the cooler for Exhaust Gas Recirculation \(EGR\) module may develop an internal leak and coolant could mix with diesel engine soot/sediment. In rare circumstances, this condition could result in smouldering particles and lead to the melting of the intake manifold, increasing the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the EGR cooler, and if necessary, replace it. If it is determined that the EGR cooler has leaked internally, the intake manifold will also be replaced. The EGR pipe connecting the cooler to the manifold will be cleaned. Note: An operator may be alerted to this condition by one or more of the following symptoms: A warning symbol in the instrument cluster displaying a loss of engine coolant, a reduction in engine power, an unpleasant odour \(exhaust gas\), an unusual noise from the engine compartment, and/or smoke from the engine compartment. - [2016579](/recalls/tc/2016579.md), 2016-11-17: Steering. On certain vehicles, the Electronic Power Steering \(EPS\) control unit may be missing a weld holding a contact pin due to a manufacturing error. A missing weld could lead to a gradual increase in pin contact resistance, which could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Also, a loss of power steering assist could increase steering effort and increase the risk of a crash resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the EPS control unit. - [2016461](/recalls/tc/2016461.md), 2016-09-21: Airbag. On certain vehicles, the housing of the driver's frontal airbag inflator may have been incorrectly welded during manufacturing and could separate from the base plate during an airbag deployment. If the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, which could increase the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's frontal airbag. - [2016242](/recalls/tc/2016242.md), 2016-05-20: Seats And Restraints. On certain vehicles, the lower anchor bars that are used for installing child seats using the European\-ISOFIX\-type rigid\-style connector may become damaged during vehicle operation. If the lower anchorage bar\(s\) were to become damaged, this would increase the risk of injury to a child seated in a child seat using this style of connector if involved in a crash. Correction: Dealers will weld a reinforcing bracket to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body. Note: Child restraint systems using LATCH\-type flexible style connectors, which reflect the vast majority of child restraint systems used in Canada, do not cause this issue. - [2014459](/recalls/tc/2014459.md), 2014-10-16: Visual System. Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 111 \- Rearview Mirrors. Affected vehicles were produced with a driver's side exterior rearview mirror designed for the non\-Canadian market, which would cause objects seen in the mirror to appear farther than they actually are. This could increase the risk of a crash during a lane change, which could cause injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the driver's side exterior rearview mirror. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
