BMW - Repair and Consignment Sales Redwood City - BMW recalls 5 Series, 6 Series, X5, and X6 models for fuel leaks - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000

The Basics: BMW is recalling 136,188 vehicles in the United States and another 18,284 in Canada due to improperly crimped wiring for the fuel pump in the gas tank. All the information can be seen here from NHTSA, but here's a breakdown of the affected models:

2007-2011 X5

2008-2011 X6

2010-2011 X6 ACTIVEHYBRID

2010-2011 5-Series Gran Turismo

2011-2012 528I

2011-2012 535I

2011-2012 550I

2012 640I

2012 650I

The Problem: A fuel leak can develop if the insufficiently crimped wires get too hot and melt. Owners may smell gasoline inside the cabin, and will see a check engine light in the dash. Initial reports of the defect came in June of 2011.

Injuries/Deaths: None have been reported.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel pump, a process that will take several hours to complete.

If you own one: Expect a letter in the mail
