Recall 25V-700: 2018 BMW 328d
BMW of North America, LLC recall for fuel system, diesel, reported to NHTSA on Oct 15, 2025, covering about 112 vehicles.
The problem

The EGR cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.
The risk
Smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the EGR cooler, inspect and replace the intake manifold, if necessary, and clean the EGR pipe connecting the cooler to the manifold, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 5, 2025. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 5, 2025. This recall is an expansion of previous recall number 21V907.
