Vehicle Systems Involved in Recalls for 2020 BMW M4

Distribution of official safety recall campaigns across automotive subsystem domains

Vehicle Subsystem 1 campaign

Air Bags & Restraints

Vehicle Subsystem 1 campaign

Fuel & Propulsion System

Domain Mapping Methodology: A single NHTSA recall campaign may involve more than one vehicle subsystem (such as electrical wiring affecting fuel delivery), so domain totals can exceed the total number of unique recall campaigns. Complaint and recall counts are grouped by broad vehicle system; component co-occurrence does not establish that an individual owner complaint is related to a specific recall campaign.

Complete safety campaign filings including defect descriptions, safety hazards, and free dealer remedies

NHTSA Campaign #20V666000 Fuel & Propulsion System
Affected Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
NHTSA Report Date: October 29, 2020
Safety 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.

Safety Risk / Consequence:

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.

Authorized Remedy Instructions:

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.

How to confirm whether an individual vehicle requires an authorized safety repair

Safety recall campaigns on this page are associated with this make, model, and model year in NHTSA federal records. A campaign may apply only to certain vehicles based on production date, equipment, manufacturing details, or other campaign-specific criteria.

AutoUtility cannot determine whether a particular VIN is affected or whether a recall remedy has already been completed.
