Description of the problem | "electric auxiliary water pump for turbocharger recall" after i've shut the engine off there is a loud gurgling, bubbling noise under the hood. Over the past 7 weeks the noise has progressively gotten worse. A local bmw mechanic explained it is an auxiliary water pump for the turbos. I went to my local bmw dealership and was told recalls are vinn# specific and i would have to get this fixed on my own. I looked up recalls for 2012 x5m and some cars do have this safety recall listed. How can two similar vinn# not have the same related safety issues? [xxx] (my car) no recall [xxx] (similar car) recall number 18v248000 has electric auxiliary water pump for turbocharger recall https://www. Bmwusa. Com/safety-and-emission-recalls. Html#lk27310 https://www. Bmwusa. Com/safety-and-emission-recalls. Html#lk27761 this is a huge safety issue and greatly appreciate your help in this matter. ? Consequence: if the circuit board were to overheat, it can increase the risk of a fire. What owners should do: note: bmw recommends that owners park their vehicle outdoors until the recall remedy has been performed? Https://www. Cars. Com/recalls/bmw-x5_m-2012/ thank you again for your time [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
