RECALL 17V-676: BLOWER MOTOR WIRING was preformed several years ago. Today the wiring connection added during the recall work failed and the blower motor stopped working.

- Scottsdale, AZ, USA

The engine stalled multiple times driving on the highway. When I turn off the car and turn on the car, it would go back to normal. I researched this is a problem for 335d, I think im experiencing the same problem, not sure why 335i is not included in the recall list. This happened multiple times for me and I ignored it at that time, other person has also experienced the same issue when he was driving my car. Now the electrical battery power is completely shut off and there is no recall, this really bothers me.

The vehicles ftm (footwell module) isn't working. During a drive my turning signals didn't want to work. My headlights won't turn off. Windows stay put. Doors don't lock. Vehicle is stationary but can still be operated. Shops around the area notified me that they had a few vehicles have the same problem this year. There was a recall for the same probably the dates for the recalls didn't include my cars manufacturered state

The contact owns a 2010 BMW 335I. The contact stated that the blower motor failed to operate. While driving 65 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but failed to drive. The vehicle was towed to BMW of silver spring (located at 3211 automobile blvd, silver spring, md 20904, (888) 295-2096) where it was diagnosed that the engine overheated. The contact was also informed that the water pump was leaking, and the radiator was leaking antifreeze and was mixing with the oil, which needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the vehicle was out of warranty. No further assistance was offered. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

The wiring harness for the headlights tends to rot overtime in these cars which then leads to bare copper wires making contact with each other and ends up causing a short and blowing the bulb. This is a safety hazard, not only for visibility but for fire prevention as well. This is a common issue in a lot of BMW's and it should be addressed. This isn't something that should have to be replaced and it is very challenging to do so. I took a look at this as my headlight bulb blew last week while on the road. Like I had mentioned earlier, this is pretty common and is even occurring in their newer models. The insulation over the wiring just flakes off and the dealerships show no care when the issue is brought up.

In November 2017, BMW sent me letters regarding possible fire hazards due to defects of the blower motor wiring and the PCV valve heater (recall numbers 17V-676 and 17V-683). No recall has been issued and no repair offered to correct possible defects. I have experienced no problem related to these parts. However, due to the serious nature of these issues, BMW should be required to recall and repair affected cars promptly.

Blower motor recall: My car was taken in by BMW the beginning of February for the recall, or so I thought. The person I talked to in the service department alerted me that there was a recall and that my car was under it. A week of them having it goes by and the tech I talk to tells me that, no my car wasnt part of it and I had other issues that they quoted me for but couldnt directly say how they concluded they were faulty, his name was carlos up at classic BMW in willoughby hills, oh. I then tell the sa I refuse to talk to that tech because he doesnt seem to have proper knowledge on the car id like to speak with someone else. The sa then confirms that my car is under recall but they cant do anything because they dont know when they will be servicing or getting parts for it. I asked if they could check it to make sure its not a safety issue for mine and he tells me that because they wont know when they will get reimbursed for the labor just to look at it, that they couldnt do anything. They let me drive my car off the lot with an ses light on, not checking my recall, my blower motor fan doesnt even work properly. Not to mention that they told me my alternator and battery were bad and couldnt run diagnostics or anything on it. I basically drove off their lot thinking they didnt do any kind of inspection on the car. They wanted me to pay 2000 just to start on what was wrong. I just got this car 1 year ago and havent had anything wrong until this month where everything seems to be going wrong safety wise. Limp mode, limit driving, drive moderately, charge malfunction, sensors lighting like a christmas tree. I never received letters about a recall. Any reply would be much appreciated. Thank you, jordan

Passenger side rear turn signal ceased to function....updated 03/31/15 the consumer discovered there was nothing wrong with the tail light. It was just a loose connection.

- Lafayette, LA, USA

Noticed the passenger side blinker started to blink quickly. The brakes and tail lights use a bulb while the blinker has approximately 15 leds. Therefore the entire light assembly has to be replaced. Several of the leds do not light up and the ones that do are dim. Two weeks later the driver side blinker did the same thing. This concerns me as another driver may not be aware that I am turning until it is to late.
