BMW 5 Series: Engine

Affects BMW 5 Series · 2018 — about 22 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, a crankshaft sensor error may cause the engine to stall. This would result in a loss of motive power, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the crankshaft sensor. Note: This condition would result in the illumination of the check engine warning lamp and an “engine malfunction” message appearing in the instrument cluster.
