It is a recall for a faulty crankcase seal that leaks oil on to the water pump electrical connection. Not a water pump seal. Oil gets in to the water pump connection and can cause an over heating issue or a fire. There “fix” is to check the water pump operation and connector for damage. They will replace them if needed. The funny part is they will install a shield to divert the oil leak. WHY NOT FIX THE OIL LEAK!!!!!!
Hi bro, i enjoy your channel very much . Quick question , i intend to get a 2019 X5 40e but only intend to use petrol n skip the ev part , is this possible? Meaning i wont charge the bat at all... reason is a 2015 35i will cost more or less a 40e therefore i was thinking this way ..thks in advance for your advice . Best rgds Alex .
Well, it depends on individual. I won't do it again if you ask me.. LOL Current range about 26km-30km as I have brand new battery replaced under warranty by BMW just 1 year ago
Hi sir, thanks for sharing are the urgent news. Are there any 7 series part of the recall? Since you own a BMW X5 xdrive 40e plug-in and its part of the recall. Will the 740Le which uses the same battery as your car be part of the recall too? 🤔 Thanks.
@chestercheng75 thanks for the reply. I've checked my VIN for my 740LE. it was my mistake your X5 and my 740LE don't share the same engine. 😅 Just the same battery. If you live in Malaysia, BMW Malaysia gives a good rate to change 1 module of the battery.
Hi , I just want to buy a 2018 X5 e40, think the cars are all out of warranty, so any suggestion? can you recommand any inspector who can help to choose the car? thanks a lot
Apologies for the red lagging arrow, It was fine during editing.. Should have triple checked 😅

Yes, possible to drive without charging externally
Sadly my vin doesn’t show up as part of the recall. I have a 2012 x5 n55
Than you're safe
@@chestercheng75 i mean my water pump is leaking. i mean. like how do i explain it to bmw? wait until my car gets caught on fire? lol
Is it worth buying a x5 40e? What are the km range on battery only?

I'm not sure, you need to check your VIN number

If you're local Malaysia in Klang Valley. Try go check with my usual foreman at Autobahn in bandar Sunway
Does the F15 X5 40e still worth the purchase since depreciation had already done the job. Should I try my luck.
Honestly, nope
What about cars sold in Europe?
Worldwide recall
I am already change in Puchong at Sep 9.....
I was informed German don't have parts for the recall yet
Wow, a deja vu of Hyundai/Kia vehicles, but for the ignition system
Same problem?
@@chestercheng75 nope, but it was a massive recall in US and Australia
