Over 29,250 2006-2007 5-series, 6-series, and X5 SUV’s are being recalled by BMW. The vehicles have a static electricity problem that causes the V8 engine to stall while on the road.
The problem involves the engine’s electronic control unit, when temperatures are below freezing and humidity is low, according to a NHTSA defect report. Under those conditions, an electrostatic discharge can occur at pipes that deliver fuel to the engine’s injectors, causing the control unit to malfunction.
Dealers in the areas will fix the problem by grounding cables into the engine compartment of the vehicle. All maintenance will be done free of charge. The only vehicles affected are the 550I and 650I from model years 2006 and 2007, and the X5 from 2007.
