BMW Parts Get Recalled

Valeo is recalling certain engine cooling fans, part numbers 696121, 696273, and 696275, used as service replacement parts for model year 2008-2011 BMW 1-Series, 2006-2011 BMW 3-Series, 2000-2009 BMW 5-Series, 2004-2005 BMW 6-Series, and 2006-2007 BMW 7-Series vehicles.

A metal-oxide semiconductor may overheat due to insufficient screwing of the semiconductor on the aluminum heat sink. This primary failure could cause adjacent components on the fan assembly motor circuit board to overheat and short.

This condition could cause the fan motor to become inoperative, or cause the motor circuit board in the assembly to overheat, potentially leading to a fire in the engine compartment.

Jaguar Recalls Parts for ‘90s SUVs

Jaguar Land Rover North America Inc. is recalling 180 REAR driveshaft couplings, Land Rover branded part No. TVF100010, manufactured between April and November 2011, sold for use as service parts for model year 1995-1999 Discovery, 1999-2004 Discovery II, and 1995 Range Rover Classic vehicles. Some of the rear driveshaft couplings may not have been manufactured to the required engineering design specifications and may exhibit the onset of joint separation, precluded by drive line vibration.

If this increased vibration warning sign is ignored, catastrophic failure of the drive coupling can occur. The driveshaft may detach from the vehicle while in motion resulting in loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and/or injury.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected rear driveshaft couplers free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about April 23.

Land Rover's recall campaign number is P024.
