Recall: 2009-2010 BMW X5 Diesel Crossovers Fuel Heater Issue - Green Car Reports
BMW has announced the recall of more than 1,500 2009-2010 BMW X5 diesel models to correct a fuel filter heater issue. The fuel filter heater is used to warm up the diesel fuel in low temperature conditions. This recall is near-identical to a 2011 recall of X5 xDrive35d models, also the result of a fuel filter heater remaining on. The X5 has also been subject to two power steering-related recalls over the last few years. According to our sister site The Car Connection , no accidents or injuries have been reported as a result of the issue, though the data is based on 16 "possibly related" field reports outside of the U. S. BMW is recalling all 1,540... Owners can contact BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417.
