Description

Detailed recall information for NHTSA ID 91V219000 by Bmw Of North America, Llc. Includes 15,200 affected units, FUEL:THROTTLE LINKAGES AND CONTROL, component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, and more from the Department of Transportation.

Defect Summary

The crankcase ventilation system, vented into the intake tract of the engine at the bellows boot ahead of the throttle housing, allows warm water vapor from the crankcase vent to condense and freeze in the colder bellows boot when the ambient air temperature is 15 degrees fahrenheit or less. The build up of ice can dislodge and move into the throttle housing, preventing the throttle plate from fully closing when the driver releases the gas pedal.

Corrective Action

Replace the throttle housing with a version containing a modified heating system along with rerouting of the cvs hose. This will prevent ice build-up in the intake tract.
