BMW Cooper: Fire May Occur
- Recalling firm
- BMW
- Product
- Vehicles: BMW COOPER. Units affected: 503
- Reason
- Some engines are fitted with an additional water pump for the turbo charger. In some circumstances a crack may develop which then leads to melting of the plug connections and the housing. Further heat development may then lead to scorch damage. In exceptional cases such overheating can lead to smouldering of the water pump. If smouldering occurs an engine compartment fire and vehicle fire cannot be excluded. Remedy: The water pump will be replaced for a new more robust version.
