That recall affects all the BMW 3 Series models built between September 1, 2001 and March 1, 2005. NHTSA announced that the tail lights might fail in certain situations which could lead to a possible accident.
This time, 2,120 X5 SUVs could suffer from a faulty fuel filter heater which would remain on even when the engine is not working. In this case, the heaters will discharge its battery and there’s a possibility to overheat and cause a fire.
