The X1, X3, and X5 models have improperly sealed electrical connectors near the water pump.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced this week that BMW is recalling 720,796 vehicles over consistently faulty electrical connectors. The agency said that this manufacturing issue is caused by an improperly sealed electrical connector located near the water pump of the BMW X1, X3, and X5 models.
NHTSA stated, “Blowby-liquid from the positive crankcase ventilation system may collect on the intake air hose. If this occurs, then this liquid could drip onto the plug connector. Over time, this could lead to fluid ingress into the plug and the possibility of a short circuit.” The agency added that, in rare instances, this issue could cause a fire.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman as she oversees the NHTSA.
- For Executive Director Jack Danielson as he manages the daily operations of the agency.
- For discernment for NHTSA officials as they seek to ensure traffic safety.
