DEFECT #1 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FAN


Posted on: 2002-05-20
Description
On certain passenger vehicles, the engine auxiliary/cooling fan operation, including variable speed, is electronically controlled.  Failure of the fan motor can cause the electrical circuitry of the fan control unit to overload and fail, causing the fan to stop operating.

Consequence
If this were to occur, engine overheating and subsequent engine damage could result.  In addition, it is possible for the failure of the electrical circuitry to cause a fire in the fan control unit located in the front of the engine compartment.

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the fan.  Owner notification began september 28, 2001.  This is a supplement to a recall that began during september 2001 (see recall campaign 01v206).  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 1-800-831-1117.

DEFECT #3 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE


Posted on: 2003-10-30
Description
On certain passenger vehicles, a microprocessor in the air bag control module, which activates the front air bags, the side air bags, the front seat safety belt pretensioners, and the battery safety terminal, may have a malfunction that could lead to an unintended activation of one or more of these components.  

Consequence
Unexpected deployment of the air bag(s) could cause serious injury if an occupant is too close to the deploying air bag(s).  In addition, the battery safety terminal may also be activated.  If that happens, the starter cable would become disconnected from the battery, and the engine could not be restarted.  

Corrective Action
Dealers will replace the air bag control module.  Owner notification began november10, 2003.  Owners should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
