Technical Service
PERFORM THE PROCEDURE OUTLINED IN THIS SERVICE INFORMATION ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE CUSTOMER DELIVERY OR THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN THE SHOP FOR MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS.
Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, as amended, if there has been a recall campaign, dealers must assure that all new vehicles and new items of replacement equipment are free of safety defects and comply with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards at the time of delivery to the consumer. This means that dealers may not deliver new motor vehicles or new items of replacement equipment to consumers unless the safety defect or noncompliance has been remedied before delivery.
SUBJECT
Recall Campaign 10V-518: E70 N52K Replace Electric Fuel Delivery Unit
MODEL
E70 (X5) with N52K engine produced from November 1st, 2007 up to August 31th, 2008
SITUATION
Due to a manufacturing process error, the electric fuel pump was not produced to specifications. The premature wear of the pump's commutator/brushes may cause a fuel pump failure. The engine may stall during driving, and restarting would not be possible.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves E70 X5 3.0si vehicles with N52K engines which were produced from 11/01/2007 up to 08/31/2008.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this Recall Campaign, first check the B-pillar label for code number 581. If code number 581 has been punched out, the campaign has already been performed. If code number 581 has not been punched out, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
CORRECTION
Replace the Fuel Delivery Unit (P/N 16 11 7 295 459). Follow Repair Instruction REP16 14 010 (Replace electric fuel pump).
