FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
- The defect
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2018 328D SportsWagon, 328D xDrive SportsWagon, 328D xDrive, and 328D diesel vehicles equipped with an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) module with an integrated cooler. The EGR cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.
- What it can cause
- Smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the EGR cooler, inspect and replace the intake manifold, if necessary, and clean the EGR pipe connecting the cooler to the manifold, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 5, 2025. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 5, 2025. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 21V907.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles

How this campaign compares
At 112 vehicles this is a small campaign: 68% 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, 2018, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
BMW vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 4 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V907000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 10 complaints with NHTSA, 7 of them before this campaign was filed. 5 of those name the fuel system, diesel, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2019, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V907000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V586000 (fuel system, diesel).
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.
