## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC. \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2018 540d xDrive vehicles equipped with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation \(EGR\) module with an integrated cooler.  The EGR cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.


## What can happen

A melting intake manifold increases the risk of fire.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the EGR module, and the intake manifold will be inspected and replaced, if necessary, free of charge.  Interim owner notification letters were mailed on October 7, 2022.  Owner notification letters were mailed December 30, 2022.  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.nhtsa.gov.
