BMW of North America, LLC. "BMW" is recalling certain 2018 540d xDrive vehicles equipped with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation "EGR" module with an integrated cooler. The EGR cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.
A melting intake manifold increases the risk of fire.
Dealers will replace the EGR module, and the intake manifold will be inspected and replaced, if necessary, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters were mailed on October 7, 2022.
