Recall Date:
n/a
Units Affected:
116,300

Affected Component: Fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings.

Summary: Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting is unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose. .

Conequence: Fuel seepage between the feed fuel hose and the engine fitting can result in free fuel in the engine compartment, which could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition. .

Remedy: A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage. .

Notes: System: fuel; fuel line fittings; metallic. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles; models 318i, 318si, 318ic, 325i, 325is, 325ix, 325ic, 525i, 535i, 735i and 735il.

Affected Component: Exterior lighting:brake lights:switch.

Summary: The brake light switch can fail allowing the switch to remain in the "brake lights off" position or in the "brake lights on" position. .

Conequence: If this happens, the brake lights either will not operate or will be continuously on, regardless of brake pedal position. Following drivers would not be able to determine whether the vehicle is stopping, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident. .

Remedy: Dealers will replace the existing brake light switch with a newly designed switch. .

Notes: System: brakes; hydraulic; switch; brake light. Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Owner notification: owner notification is expected to begin august 5, 1996.

Units Affected:
340,000

Affected Component: Engine and engine cooling:cooling system.

Summary: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. A malfunction or failure of a coolant system component, such as a thermostat, water pump, or fan belt, can result in significantly increased coolant temperature and system pressure. If the indications of a critical overheating condition is not noticed by the driver, it is possible that damage to, or failure of, a coolant system component could occur. .

Conequence: If a crack were to form or a seam were to separate in the heater core end piece, hot coolant could suddenly be expelled, increasing the risk of personal injury to a vehicle occupant. .

Remedy: Dealers will install a new design radiator cap to control pressure and provide greater coolant overflow in the event of overheating. .

Notes: Owner notification began march 31, 1999. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
