BMW recalls models E60, E61, E63 & E64
May 13, 2019
BMW Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of BMW E60, E61, E63 and E64 models.
The fault affects the insulated bulkhead connector of the positive battery cables in the vehicle’s trunk floor. In rare cases, long-term effects such as vibrations and changing temperatures in connection with increased moisture and extreme road salt loads can lead to corrosion. If this were to occur, an increase in electrical resistance at this cable connection is possible. In addition, humidity can also accumulate causing current leakage increasing. In a few individual cases it could cause the cable connection to overheat due to the electrical resistance or current leakage.
The vehicles in question were manufactured between 5 February 2002 and July 2010.
This recall affects 14,336 vehicles in Ireland.
What to do:
BMW Ireland will be writing directly to those customers affected in this recall to arrange to have the affected parts in their vehicles replaced.
The letter will advise consumers affected by this voluntary recall to contact their nearest BMW Dealer/Authorised Repairer who will arrange to do the repair free of charge. BMW Ireland can be contacted on: 1890 719 421.
