The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the storage tank assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The fuel level sensor in the fuel tank may become stuck against an in-tank fuel line, causing the fuel gauge to display an inaccurate and possibly larger amount of fuel than is actually available.
An incorrect fuel reading may lead to the vehicle stalling and increase the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will secure the in-tank fuel line to keep the fuel line from contacting the fuel level sensor, free of charge.
