Federal Motar Safety Number: |
| Defect Summary : On certain passenger vehicles, the electric fuel pump runs at a rotational speed that could result in reduced lubrication of its internal components. over an extended period of time, wear-induced internal damage to the fuel pump could result in insufficient fuel supply to the engine when the fuel tank contains one-third or less of its maximum fuel capacity. |
Consequence Summary: If this were to occur, the engine could stall and not be restarted until more fuel was added to the fuel tank. this could occur even though the fuel gauge indicated that fuel still remained in the tank. |
| Corrective Summary : Dealers will reprogram the fuel pump control system. owner notification began june 28, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bmw at 1-800-332-4269. |
