problem #1

Dec 102010

745 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles
The contact owns a 2005 BMW 745li. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to be repaired for the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number: 10V446000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum). While having the vehicle repaired, the contact was informed that the seal on the vacuum pump was leaking into the engine instead of the brake booster, as the recall stated. He was then informed that repairing the vehicle under the recall would not repair the actual failure and additional repairs outside of the recall would be needed. The vehicle was not further repaired. The failure and current mileage was 61,000. Updated 02/10/11 updated 08/22/11
