2010 BMW 3 SERIES Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2010 BMW 3 Series has two recalls of equal severity, one of which involves a cooling fan that can overheat and start a fire in the engine compartment. This fire risk applies only to vehicles where a specific Valeo aftermarket cooling fan was installed as a replacement part; if the car has only ever had its original factory fan, this recall does not apply. The second recall affects diesel-equipped models, where the positive battery cable connection to the fuse box can fail while driving, cutting power to the electrical system and causing the engine to stall, the lights to go out, and other vehicle systems to stop functioning.
