• Defect: an improperly sealed electrical connector on the water pump may be exposed to water and short circuit. NHTSA’s public consequence statement: a short circuit increases the risk of a fire. BMW’s Part 573 states that, over time, material degradation at the connector could allow moisture to enter the pump and lead to a short circuit, which could increase the risk of a thermal event and, in rare cases, a fire. The campaign is coded park outside (`parkOutSide: true`). Water-pump part numbers listed in the Part 573: 8625097, 8635089, and 7604027.

• What to do: the remedy is under development. Owners should park outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed.

Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9171) or check the VIN at NHTSA.gov when search opens. Owners who paid for a remedy before notification may be eligible for reimbursement under BMW’s plan.
