According to the latest announcement of the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration, BMW (China) Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. has filed the recall plan with the State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration in accordance with the requirements of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products and the measures for the implementation of the regulations on the recall of defective Automobile products.

Due to the supply of spare parts, the recall of 3-series vehicles will begin on September 6, 2021, and the recall of other models will begin on October 29, 2021.
The reason for the recall is that due to the fluctuation of the fuel tank manufacturing process and the lack of design fault tolerance of the vehicle within the recall scope, it may cause the processing cover plate on the upper part of the fuel tank to crack after being used for a period of time, resulting in fuel leakage when the vehicle is filled with fuel. There is a safety risk.
In view of the above defects, BMW (China) Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. will use a special tool (leak detector) to test the pressure loss of the fuel tank and replace the fuel tank that failed the test free of charge. to eliminate safety risks.
Emergency measures: before being recalled and overhauled, it is recommended that the owner of the car should not exceed the fuel gauge 3x4 when filling the fuel, so as not to increase the load of the fuel tank and cause damage. If you smell fuel inside the car or observe a fuel leak outside the car, you should contact an authorized BMW dealer for repair as soon as possible.
