An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (BMW 320d xDrive and 7 other models) - Repair. Engine defect (exhaust gas recirculation module) ■ Defective part (component name) Engine (exhaust gas recirculation module) ■ Condition of the structure, equipment or performance deemed noncompliant with standards, and its cause Due to variations in the manufacturing process, some diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) modules may leak coolant. In such cases, soot in the exhaust gas mixes with coolant and accumulates inside the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) module. The deposits become hot, flow into and adhere to the intake manifold, and may cause it to melt. In the worst case, this may result in a fire. Published 2024-11-18.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 外-3877 ■ Corrective measures On all vehicles, the engine control unit (DDE) software will be rewritten with corrective software to detect coolant leaks and engine overheating at an early stage and illuminate a warning light. In addition, before melting damage to the intake manifold spreads, a protection function will activate, the engine warning light will illuminate, and power output will be limited. If a warning light illuminates, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) module will also be inspected and replaced with a non-defective unit as necessary.
