2006 BMW Z4 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2006 BMW Z4 has 3 recalls, all centered on the same fire risk: the positive crankcase ventilation valve's internal heater can short circuit and overheat, potentially igniting a fire even when the car is parked and turned off. This issue affects vehicles equipped with the N52 or N52K six-cylinder engine. The heater element inside the crankcase ventilation valve can fail electrically, generating enough heat to melt surrounding components and start a fire whether the engine is running, was recently shut off, or has been sitting for some time. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for this same defect.
