The 2011 BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo has 2 recalls, the more serious involving the fuel pump wiring connector, which can melt and cause a fuel leak or cause the pump to stop working entirely, stalling the engine.
The second recall involves the fuel level sensor inside the tank, which can become wedged against the tank wall and cause the fuel gauge to read higher than the actual amount of fuel remaining, leaving the driver unaware the tank is nearly empty.
