BMW of North America, LLC — Fuel Gauge may Read Higher than Actual Level
Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
An incorrect fuel reading may lead to the vehicle stalling and increase the risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will secure the in-tank fuel line to keep the fuel line from contacting the fuel level sensor, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin September 2018. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.

The product
