ENGINE
- The defect
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2024 BMW 430i convertible vehicles. The cylinder head cover may develop cracks, resulting in oil leaking into engine compartment.
- What it can cause
- An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as a hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the cylinder head cover as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 14, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
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 17,358 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 479. It covers one model year, 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the engine 3 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V598000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V438000 (electrical system), 26V056000 (electrical system).
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 December 20, 2023 as campaign 23V863000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
