    A flaw in up to 720,796 BMW automobiles from the 2010s has resulted in a substantial recall.

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a recall last week for BMWs equipped with a specific water pump and plug connector. In the impacted vehicles, the pump’s electrical connector might not have been properly sealed, which could permit water intrusion—potentially leading to a short circuit and an escalated fire hazard.

    NHTSA Campaign Number 24V608000 indicates the following vehicles may be impacted:

    • 2014-2016 BMW 228i and 228xi
    • 2012-2016 BMW 328i and 328xi, as well as 328xi Gran Turismo
    • 2014-2016 BMW 428i and 428xi
    • 2012-2016 BMW 528i and 528i xDrive
    • 2012-2015 BMW X1 sDrive28i and xDrive28i
    • 2013-2017 BMW X3 sDrive28i and xDrive28i
    • 2015-2018 BMW X4 xDrive28i
    • 2016-2018 BMW X5 xdrive 40e
    • 2012-2016 BMW Z4 sDrive28i

    BMW will notify owners via mail, with letters scheduled to be dispatched by Oct. 4. Owners may also reach out to BMW directly at 1-800-525-7417. BMW’s service network will be responsible for examining the water pump and connection, as well as replacing any defective components at no cost. Additionally, a protective shield will be installed.
