Engine and engine cooling: exhaust system: emission control: gas recirculation valve (EGR valve)

What is wrong
BMW of North America, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 540d xDrive vehicles that were previously repaired under recall number 22V‑614. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.
Risk
An EGR valve with smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold increases the risk of an engine fire.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the EGR module and the intake manifold as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 7, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1‑800‑525‑7417.
