Defect
BMW of North America, LLC. (BMW) is recalling certain 540d xDrive vehicles that were previously repaired under recall number 22V-614.

Risk
An EGR valve with smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold increases the risk of an engine fire.
What the manufacturer will do
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.
