SUBJECT
Recall Campaign 11E-A01: Replace Emission Label
MODEL
E70 (X5) and E71 (X6) with N55 and N63 engines produced from March 8, 2011, to April 3, 2011
SITUATION
Certain vehicles were produced with the incorrect emission label installed under the engine hood. The affected model year 2012 vehicles had model year 2011 labels incorrectly applied during production.
Customers will receive notification letters informing them to make a service appointment at their BMW centers to have the correct label installed.
AFFECTED VEHICLES
This Recall Campaign involves X5 and X6 models which were produced from March 8, 2011 to April 3, 2011.
In order to determine whether a specific vehicle has had this Emissions Recall Campaign completed or is affected by this Recall Campaign, first check whether the Recall Completion Label, SD 92-418, is attached to the right (passenger) rear side of the hood in the engine compartment, close to the windshield. If the label is found, the Campaign has already been performed. If the Recall Completion Label is not present, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of DCSnet (Dealer Communication System) or the Key Reader. Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action.
PROCEDURE
Open the engine compartment hood.
Remove the existing emission label.
Clean the surface with a suitable cleaning solution.
Affix the correct emission label in the same location
