2004 BMW 6 SERIES Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2004 BMW 6 Series has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fuel line coupling on 8-cylinder models that can separate in a severe frontal crash and allow fuel to leak near ignition sources, creating a fire risk. A second recall covers the positive battery cable's bulkhead connector, which may have been installed incorrectly. Over time, the bolt can loosen and raise electrical resistance, and if the connector is also improperly insulated, moisture can collect there and cause current leakage. The third recall affects 645Ci coupe and cabriolet models, where the sun visor airbag warning label was taken from a different model and does not include all required warnings.

2004 BMW 6 SERIESTransport Canada Recall #2012109

ELECTRICAL

Defect

On certain vehicles, the insulated bulkhead connector (used to join the two halves of the positive battery cable) may have been incorrectly installed during vehicle assembly. Over time, the bolt connection could loosen, which would increase electrical resistance. In addition, an incorrectly insulated bulkhead connector could allow humidity to accumulate at this location, causing current leakage. These issues could cause the cable connection to overheat, which could result in a vehicle fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, as necessary, secure the insulated bulkhead connector. In addition, protective grease will be added to the area and the plastic battery positive terminal cover will be replaced.
