BMW of North America, LLC has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 BMW 550I. They stated that on certain vehicles equipped with V8 engines, in conditions of below freezing temperatures combined with low humidity, it is possible for electrostatic discharge to occur at the fuel rails. If this were to occur, the engine electronic control unit (ECU) could be affected so that engine stalling could result.
If stalling were to occur, the driver may not be able to maintain vehicle speed or accelerate and the power steering could fail increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will attach two ground cables in the engine compartment free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during October 2007. Owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.
