BMW if the EGR cooler leaks internally, the coolant can mix with diesel engine soot.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the emission control gas recirculation valve (egr valve). Here is what owners need to know.
If the EGR cooler leaks internally, the coolant can mix with diesel engine soot. The high EGR temperatures may result in these particles possibly smoldering and melting the intake manifold.
The melting intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the EGR cooler as necessary, free of charge.
