First BMW recall due to EGR cooler also for Mini models

The problem with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler on BMW diesel models, which we have been reporting on since 2018, has now, for the first time, become the reason for a warning from the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) for Mini models as well.

According to a database entry, the recall with the internal code “0011370700” affects 20,642 vehicles of all models in Germany alone (see table). Worldwide numbers are not given in the KBA report. These are cars produced between 2013 and 2019. A leak in the exhaust gas recirculation module can lead to a vehicle fire.

The EGR cooler on the recalled vehicles will be checked and, if necessary, replaced with an optimised version.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.

If you wish to know more about the eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accident damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), in that case, we suggest going to this page.
