BMW M760LI recall - oil line problem; consult dealer for free repair if needed

For current and future owners of BMW M760, please check this bulletin and consult with your nearest dealership for the free repair (if in case your car is affected)

Quote:
Only 97 examples are affected.

The most expensive production BMW money can buy these days, the M760Li xDrive, will have to visit the service centers of the Bavarian brand. But why a V12-powered fullsize luxury limousine with a starting price of $153,800 MSRP in the United States will need an inspection?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Academy (NHTSA), “approximately 97 vehicles” of the model “may have been equipped with incorrectly manufactured engine oil cooler lines.” The affected examples were produced between May 10 last year and March 23 this year. And, yes, if you’ve bought a brand new M760Li last month in America, most likely, it will be recalled.

The NHTSA explains that “during production of the oil cooler lines at the supplier, a crimping at a sleeve of the oil cooler line may not have been sufficiently performed which could cause the connection to loosen during engine operation.” Under certain conditions, “engine oil could leak into the engine compartment, road surface and on the front brake disks, and increase the risk of a crash.”


BMW will inspect the defective oil cooler lines and, if necessary, will replace them free of charge. The automaker states that it “has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.”|
