- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2022 X1 xDrive 28i, X3 xDrive30i, and 228i Gran Coupe vehicles. The high-pressure fuel rail may crack and result in a fuel leak within the engine compartment.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the high-pressure fuel rail, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 19, 2022. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- NHTSA's note

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 30 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V199000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 1 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V438000 (electrical system), 26V056000 (electrical system), 25V636000 (electrical system), 25V106000 (latches/locks/linkages).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by BMW of North America, LLC with NHTSA on July 20, 2022 as campaign 22V513000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
