Issue
On certain vehicles, a wrong part may have been installed by a BMW dealer during recall 11 81 22RC (Transport Canada recall no. 2022-452). As a result, a second repair is required.

If this happens, you may notice the following symptoms: a warning symbol in the instrument cluster displaying a loss of coolant, reduced engine power, an unpleasant exhaust odour, an unusual noise from the engine and/or smoke from the engine compartment.
Safety risk
A cracked EGR cooler could create the risk of an engine fire.
Corrective actions
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the EGR module and the intake manifold with updated parts.
