Defect summary | Bmw of north america, llc (bmw) is recalling certain 2020-2021 m2 coupe and 2020 m4 coupe vehicles. Fuel injectors may have been installed without a damping component which is used to reduce vibration. If a damping component is not present, vibration will increase at the connection between the fuel line and the fuel rail, which over time, can result in damage at the connection. |
Consequence summary | A damaged connection between the fuel line and the fuel rail could lead to a fuel leak and, in the presence of an ignition source, increase the risk of a fire. |
Corrective action | Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel injectors and if a damping component is missing, the injectors and the fuel rail will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began december 18, 2020. Owners may contact bmw customer service at 1-800-525-7417. |
