2016 BMW 5 Series

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. 

Safety Risk: 
This error does not affect vehicle safety. 

Corrective Actions: 
This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, fluid from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system could leak on the intake air hose. As a result, the fluid could enter the electrical connector for the water pump and cause a short circuit.  
 
Safety Risk: 
A short circuit can create the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises you to park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs are completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the water pump and electrical connector. The dealer will also install a shield on the connector.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler could crack internally and leak. If this happens, you may notice the following symptoms: a warning symbol in the instrument cluster displaying a loss of coolant, reduced engine power, an unpleasant exhaust odour, an unusual noise from the engine and/or smoke from the engine compartment. 
Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada Recall no. 2018-587. 

Safety Risk: 
A cracked EGR cooler could create the risk of an engine fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the EGR cooler. The dealer will also inspect the intake manifold, and replace it, if necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, the high-pressure fuel pump may wear prematurely. This can cause reduced engine performance and could lead to a sudden engine stall. 
Note: A warning lamp on the instrument cluster will turn on if the fuel pressure drops. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the high-pressure fuel pump.

Issue:
A problem with the driver’s seat belt could cause it not to lock-up as designed during braking or in a crash.
 
Safety Risk: 
A seat belt that does not lock properly in a crash could cause an increased risk of injury.  
 
Corrective Actions: 
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver’s seat belt assembly.
