2018 BMW 540D Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2018 BMW 540D has 2 recalls, both addressing the same fire risk: an exhaust gas recirculation cooler that can leak internally, mixing coolant with diesel soot and causing the intake manifold to melt and potentially ignite. One of these recalls covers vehicles where a prior repair attempt did not fully resolve the issue, meaning some 540D xDrive owners may have already had work done and still have an open concern. In both cases, the underlying problem is the same: smoldering particles from the coolant-soot mixture can cause an engine fire.
