2012 BMW X5 M Complaints

CAR HAS 62000KMS, FULLY SERVICED AT DEALER ONLY! ENGINE RUMBLED TO A HALT WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. SEVERAL PEOPLE REPORTING SAME ISSUE. DEALER CLAIMS SEIZED ENGINE/TIMING CHAIN. THESE SAME MODEL CARS WITH THE N63 ENGINES HAVE A RECALL, THIS MODEL HAS A TURBO ATTACHED FROM FACTORY AND WASNT INCLUDED IN RECALL BUT HAS EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE N63 ENGINES

"ELECTRIC AUXILIARY WATER PUMP FOR TURBOCHARGER RECALL" AFTER I'VE SHUT THE ENGINE OFF THERE IS A LOUD GURGLING, BUBBLING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. OVER THE PAST 7 WEEKS THE NOISE HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. A LOCAL BMW MECHANIC EXPLAINED IT IS AN AUXILIARY WATER PUMP FOR THE TURBOS. I WENT TO MY LOCAL BMW DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD RECALLS ARE VINN# SPECIFIC AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET THIS FIXED ON MY OWN. I LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR 2012 X5M AND SOME CARS DO HAVE THIS SAFETY RECALL LISTED. HOW CAN TWO SIMILAR VINN# NOT HAVE THE SAME RELATED SAFETY ISSUES? [XXX] (MY CAR) NO RECALL [XXX] (SIMILAR CAR) RECALL NUMBER 18V248000 HAS ELECTRIC AUXILIARY WATER PUMP FOR TURBOCHARGER RECALL HTTPS://WWW.BMWUSA.COM/SAFETY-AND-EMISSION-RECALLS.HTML#LK27310 HTTPS://WWW.BMWUSA.COM/SAFETY-AND-EMISSION-RECALLS.HTML#LK27761 THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. ?CONSEQUENCE: IF THE CIRCUIT BOARD WERE TO OVERHEAT, IT CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE. WHAT OWNERS SHOULD DO: NOTE: BMW RECOMMENDS THAT OWNERS PARK THEIR VEHICLE OUTDOORS UNTIL THE RECALL REMEDY HAS BEEN PERFORMED?

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 X5 WHEN AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION- REDUCED POWER CAME UP, SINCE THE VEHICLE STARTED OVERHEATING I IMMEDIATELY STOP AND CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE BEARS BMW, AFTER THE DEALER MADE ME CHANGE THE IVM AND THE DME IT CAME BACK TO A WATER PUMP MALFUNCTION THAT WAS CREATING THE CAR TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. AS SOON AS I CHANGE THE WATER PUMP, THE VEHICLE STARTED WORKING PERFECTLY, HOWEVER, I JUST NOTICED THERE'S A RECALL FOR THE WATER PUMP ON THE 2012 BMW X5. I PAID OVER $3,000 ON REPLACING PARTS THAT WE'RE NOT DAMAGED AND THE WATER PUMP WAS A RECALL. WHO WOULD REIMBURSE THE CHARGES OF MY REPAIR WHEN THIS WAS A RECALL AND I JUST GOT IT FIXED LESS THAN A WEEK AGO.
