The 2015 BMW 535D has 3 recalls, the most serious being an exhaust gas recirculation module that can cause the intake manifold to melt and start an engine fire.
The third recall covers the high-pressure fuel pump, which can fail while the vehicle is in motion. When the pump stops delivering fuel, the engine stalls, leaving the driver without power in traffic and raising the risk of a crash.
