BMW recalling 2010-2011 5 Series and 5 Series Gran Turismo for fuel sensor issue
BMW is recalling certain 2010 and 2011 5-series and 5-series Gran Turismo passenger vehicles manufactured from January 12 through July 1, 2010. The vehicle's fuel level sensor within the fuel tank can become wedged against the tank.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster would display a larger amount of fuel than was actually in the tank. As a result, if the tank became empty, the vehicle could stall increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy:
BMW has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan and notification schedule. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.
