BMW Recalls Over 100,000 Vehicles Due to Fire Risk

Faulty Component Could Cause Fires

BMW has announced a recall for over 100,000 vehicles due to a faulty component that could cause a fire.

The recall affects several models, including the 1 Series, 3 Series, X3, and 5 Series. The vehicles were built between 2006 and 2013.

The faulty component is a positive crankcase ventilation valve. This valve can fail and cause oil to leak into the engine compartment. The oil can then come into contact with hot engine components and cause a fire.

BMW has not yet announced when the recall will begin. However, the automaker has said that it will notify affected owners by mail.

In the meantime, BMW is urging owners of the affected vehicles to be vigilant for any signs of a fire, such as smoke or flames coming from the engine compartment. If you see any signs of a fire, pull over and turn off the engine immediately. Then, call BMW roadside assistance for help.

Conclusion

This recall is a serious reminder of the importance of regular vehicle maintenance. By keeping your vehicle up-to-date on maintenance, you can help prevent costly repairs and potential safety hazards.
