Recalls: BMW F90 M5 Sedan
2017-18 BMW F90 M5: loss of power
In June 2018, a recall was issued for BMW F90 M5 vehicles that were available for sale from 21 August 2017 to 18 April 2018. In these vehicles, faulty software could cause the fuel pump to stop working while the vehicle was in motion – this would cause the vehicle to lose power, posing an accident risk. For the VINs of the recalled BMW F90 M5 vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16806.
2019 BMW F90 M5: short circuit could cause shift into neutral
In January 2020, recall campaign 00 12 1505 00 was issued for BMW F90 M5 vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 29 January 2019 to 7 November 2019. Due to an incorrectly routed section of the transmission wiring harness, a short circuit could occur and shift the transmission into the neutral gear. If this occurred, the vehicle may suddenly stop and lose power to the wheels – this, in turn, could cause the transmission to enter the emergency program and engage the parking lock when the vehicle was restarted. These events increased the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/18083.
