BMW Recalling Vehicles Because Overheating Could Lead To A Fire

Krohn & Moss, Ltd. Consumer Law Center ® has become aware that BMW of North America is recalling 47,806 select 2011 and 2012 BMW, Mini, and Rolls Royce vehicles because the auxiliary water pump could fail and cause a circuit board to overheat. That overheating could potentially lead to a fire.

The automaker recommends that owners of the affected vehicles park them outdoors until the recall work has been performed. “The electric auxiliary water pump may fail and cause the circuit board to overheat,” the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said. This could increase the risk of fire. Dealers will replace the electric auxiliary water pump at no charge. Replacement parts are not currently available. The following vehicles are being recalled:
