## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2014 i8 vehicles manufactured from May 16, 2014, to September 16, 2014.  A bolt used to attach a ground cable between the tank and the vehicle chassis may not have been properly welded during manufacturing.


## What can happen

An inadequate weld of the bolt to the fuel tank could cause a fuel leak.  In the presence of an ignition source, a fuel leak could lead to a fire.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank if necessary, free of charge.  The recall began in November 2014.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417 or CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
