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.

- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 18V755000
- Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC
- Reported: 2018\-10\-25
- Owners notified: 2019\-05\-13
- Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE \(EGR VALVE\)
- Units potentially affected: 44368

## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2013\-2018 BMW 328d and 328d xDrive, 2014\-2018 328d Sports Wagon and 328d xDrive Sports Wagon, 2014\-2016 535d and 535d xDrive, 2015 740Ld xDrive, 2015\-2017 X3 xDrive28d SAV and 2014\-2017 X5 xDrive35d SAV vehicles equipped with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation \(EGR\) module with an integrated cooler.  If the EGR cooler leaks internally, the coolant can mix with diesel engine soot.  The high EGR temperatures may result in these particles possibly smoldering and melting the intake manifold.


## What can happen

The melting intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the EGR cooler as necessary.  If a leak has already occurred, the engine intake manifold will also be replaced.  These repairs will be made free of charge.  The recall began May 13, 2019.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
