| Description of the problem | I am yet another bmw owner reporting valve vmcover gasket issues. Bmw is not being made to recall this part. Aluminum bolts that never should have been used and were later replaced going forward but have not been addressed. This is a serious concern financially for countless owners that have had to get these fixed, and is a safety concern as leaking oil could cause engine fires. Make this right nhtsa by holding bmw responsible for this defect that they have been well aware of for ten years. |
