The recall concerns cars produced between July 2012 and September 2016 and applies to the four-cylinder diesel engines of the 3, 4, 5 and 6 series, as well as the X3, X4, X5 and X6 models, Pieter De Wit, spokesman for BMW told l’Essentiel.

Customers will soon be contacted to make an appointment with their dealers to change the parts necessary. "The invitation will be sent to them once all the pieces are available. In the meantime, everyone can use their vehicle normally. Fire is extremely rare,” said De Wit.
