BMW is recalling certain 2020-2021 Z4 vehicles due to a potential fuel leak from a faulty weld, which could cause fire if an ignition source is present. Owners must have the fuel tank replaced at no cost.
The failed weld may allow fuel to leak, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
BMW is recalling some 2020-2021 Z4 vehicles because a weld in the fuel tank may fail, causing fuel leaks that could lead to fire near ignition sources. This affects owners who need to have the fuel tank replaced at no cost to prevent fire risks.
