BMW X3: Restricted Fuel Supply Could Cause Engine To Stall
Recall Summary BMW is recalling 3,504 X3 and X4 vehicles because a damaged sealing cap in the fuel tank delivery module may restrict fuel flow, causing the engine to stall even when the fuel gauge shows fuel is available. BMW will inspect the fuel pressure and delivery module cap, replacing the delivery module if necessary.
- Recalling firm
- BMW
- Product
- Vehicles: BMW X3, BMW X4. Units affected: 3,504
- Reason
- The sealing cap of the pressure-limiting valve in the fuel tank delivery module may be damaged. This concern could lead to a reduction in fuel transfer from the left side to the right side of the fuel tank. Therefore it is possible for the engine to stall even though the fuel gauge would show fuel present. Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the fuel pressure of the delivery module and the distance of the cap on the pressure-limiting valve. Where necessary the delivery module will be replaced.
