Details

Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with an N52 or N52K 6-cylinder engine, a manufacturing problem could cause the PCV valve heater (blow-by heater) to short circuit and overheat.

Note: This replaces Transport Canada recalls 2017-470 and 2019-170.

Only vehicles equipped with an N52 or N52K engine require this repair.

Safety Risk: An overheated engine PCV valve heater could create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.

Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to install a wire harness repair kit.

BMW recommends that you should park your vehicle outdoors until the recall repairs have been completed.
