Engine and engine cooling
NHTSA 07V066000February 23, 20076,631 units

In freezing temperatures, this water could freeze and block the air bleed valve.
Risk: It is possible that a pressure build up in the oil tank could cause it to rupture, allowing oil to leak onto the rear tire. An oil leak could cause a fire. Oil on the rear tire could cause loss of control.
Remedy: Dealers will install a new oil tank cap containing a valve to prevent overpressure in the tank free of charge. The recall began on april 10, 2007. Owners may contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
