This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
BMW group issued voluntary recall no. 18V-248: Electronic auxiliary water pump failure. Prior to receiving a recall notice by mail, my car's instrument panel registered the following message while driving and on cold startup: "engine temperature high, drive moderately...". the temperature gauge read normal before, during, and after the warning message displayed (both stationary and while driving). The BMW service center informed me the message was due to the recalled auxiliary water pump failure, 18V-248. In addition, the turbo coolant lines were found to be leaking which the service center informed me were not covered by the recall. It seems a faulty auxiliary water pump would cause or increase the likelihood of failing turbo coolant lines. In addition, a failing circuit board could render other electrical failures in the vehicle that BMW is not acknowledging in this recall. I request NHTSA investigate and compel BMW group to expand on this recall.
