On certain vehicles, failure of a cooling system component such as thermostat, water pump or fan belt can result in a significant increase in coolant temperature and system pressure. Increased system pressure could result the formation of a crack or separation of a seam in the heater core end piece which would cause hot coolant to be expelled from the heater core. This hot fluid could contact car occupants resulting in possible personal injury and/or fogging of the interior window surfaces. Correction: Radiator cap will be replaced with a new design cap in order to avoid buildup of excessive pressure in the cooling system.
On certain 318IC, 318IS, 318TI, 325I, 325IC, 325IS, 525I, 525IT, 530I, 530IT, 540I, 740I, 740IL, 840CI and M3, the cruise control and throttle cable are attached to the same throttle valve actuating lever at the throttle housing. It is possible that the plastic bushing on either cable could break causing the outer cable housing to separate from the bushing. Throttle pedal application without cruise control engagement could cause the outer tube to catch on the edge of the broken bushing resulting in the throttle valve remaining partially open. If this were to occur, the car might not decelerate as expected and a crash could occut. Correction: A spring clip will be installed on the outer tube of each cable to prevent dislodgment from the bushing.
On certain 740I, 740IL and 750IL vehicles, road grit and gravel associated with winter road conditions can penetrate the rubber of the lower front spring mounts and accumulate in the mounts causing notches or pits to develop. Eventually this could cause the coild spring to crack and break at a bottom coild. This could adversely affect the vehicle's dynamic stability and reduce driver control. Correction: Both front springs and lower spring mounts will be replace on affected vehicles.
On certain 740I, 740IL and 750IL vehicles, the lower suspension arm mounting eye on the right side rear axle hub carrier could have a casting flaw. It is possible that the carrier eye could crack and break during driving. If this were to occur, the right rear wheel would no longer function as designed and the driver's ability to maintain control of the vehicle would be considerably reduced. Correction: Right side rear axle hub carrier will be inspected for the presence of the casting flaw and replaced if the flaw is present.
