BMW improved the issue in the 2015 or newer models which have more robust timing chain guides and Tensioners.   The fix involves replacing the entire timing chain assembly (guides, chain, tensioner) with updated, more durable parts and cleaning the oil pump/pan of debris.

Since the The BMW N20 engine (2012\u2013early 2015 328i) does suffer from premature timing chain guide failure, leading to oil pump failure and catastrophic engine failure.

For several months, intermittent warnings indicated a malfunction in these lights. On New Years, the warnings ceased to be intermittent, and the lights failed completely. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the ground pin within the wiring harness had melted off the tail light connector and fused into the harness itself. The melting of a wiring pin is a critical issue that indicates an electrical fault, likely due to excessive current or resistance, and presents a serious safety risk. The fact that a core safety feature of the vehicle\u2014the brake and turn lights\u2014failed completely due to this issue is a significant concern. This type of malfunction can lead to a rear-end collision, as drivers behind the vehicle would not be properly alerted to braking or turning maneuvers. This situation is not merely an inconvenience but a potential public health and safety hazard. The failure of vehicle safety components, particularly those responsible for signaling, directly increases the risk of motor vehicle accidents, which are a leading cause of injury and death. NHTSA is responsible for ensuring vehicle safety, and the failure of vehicle lighting systems due to a manufacturing or design defect is a violation of these standards and a common factor in accidents (FHA, 2025). this specific issue with my BMW 328i is not an isolated incident. Research into technical service bulletins and consumer complaints reveals that melted wiring harnesses and bulb carriers in the rear taillight assemblies are a known, recurring problem. The prevalence of this issue strongly suggests a systemic design or manufacturing flaw that puts drivers and the public at risk. As a known defect, the failure to address it could lead to significant legal and financial consequence","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11680193,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/26/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"08/12/2025","vin":"WBA3X5C57ED","components":"ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328I.

I yielded oncoming traffic, thankfully I was able to shift over into the grass in time before anyone else entered the roundabout. My check engine light came on and it started to overheat, which I have never had that issue since the recall was issued. It started smoking from under my hood so I let it cool before I attempted to drive it again to return home. The following day I was able to start my vehicle up and I took it to Take 5 to get an oil change and a coolant flush thinking that may be the issue. The mechanic advised me since the coolant they use is standard coolant and I need premium he would not perform it. He ran my codes and the issue that popped up was the current recall on my vehicle. This is the first time I have experienced any issues since the recall has been issued. I am now left with a vehicle that is not able to be driven.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":11641384,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/15/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"02/07/2025","vin":"WBA3G7C58EK","components":"ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328I.

The car is currently unsafe to drive, and BMW has not provided a timetable for fixing the problem or offering a solution. The last time I drove the car, I experienced a dangerous malfunction. While driving slowly to the end of my street, I pressed the gas pedal, but the engine did not respond at all. The car essentially lost power, leaving me in the middle of the street. I was able to roll the car in front of a neighbor\u2019s house, turn it off, and restart it. After restarting, I managed to drive it back up the street to my house. I have not driven the car since, as I do not want to put myself or others in danger.  Safety Risk: The engine failure occurred while I was driving, which could have put me at risk of being struck by other vehicles. A sudden loss of engine power while driving, especially at higher speeds or in traffic, could cause a serious accident.  Inspection/Confirmation: The recall has been acknowledged by BMW, but there is no timetable for when parts will be available to resolve the issue. I have contacted the corporate office and the local dealership. The dealer refuses to provide a rental car, leaving me without a viable transportation option.

BMW of North America has been contacted about this faulty sensor. Recall B651017  & 17V-428 have addressed this faulty sensor on many BMW models with replacement as the remedy\u2026a stated (3) hour repair. My BMW model (328i - 62k miles) unfortunately, is not listed on the recall notice, but, nonetheless, is still a safety issue. Serious enough that on the Recall it states that no passenger should sit in the front passenger seat while this faulty condition exists and further recommends passengers sit in the rear seats! Regardless of warranty status and recall model omission, I have reached out to BMW of North America. First response was refusal of any repair assistance with a textbook definition of a car warranty. It was further reviewed by their Escalation Team and the response was an echo of the first.  If this wasn\u2019t a safety issue that wasn\u2019t addressed on other models via a recall, I wouldn\u2019t be writing this and would abide by the car warranty and take care of myself. Since this is a known issue by BMW, I feel this repair should be taken care of as it affects the safety of my family. It affects any future owner as well, which now leaves me a car that is basically unsafe to sell leaving me in double jeopardy. After researching costs for this repair, it seems the average is $1500-$2000 which I cannot afford. I have offered to pay for parts and some labor but the Escalation Team (Clay) has offered zero in assistance. I leave this correspondence on record in case of an unfortunate event that could\u2019ve been easily rectified and avoided. Thank you for allowing me to explain my situation.

WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE, IT WOULDN'T LET ME. THE SIGNAL STILL SAID P FOR PARK, AND IT WOULDN'T WORK IN REVERSE MODE NOR NEUTRAL MODE EITHER. THEN I TRIED TURNING OFF MY VEHICLE AND TRIED RE-STARTING IT. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START MY VEHICLE, THE WHOLE VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN, AND WOULDN'T START UP ANYMORE.     ALL THE OTHER CARS AROUND ME WERE ABLE TO DRIVE JUST FINE, AND EVEN HAD TO DRIVE PAST ME BECAUSE MY CAR STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET DURING THE RAIN. THE FIREMEN AND POLICEMEN ENDED UP COMING TO TRY TO RE-START MY ENGINE, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK, SO THEY ENDED UP HAVING TO TOW MY CAR AWAY TO AVOID TRAFFIC (SO ALL THE OTHER CARS CAN DRIVE THROUGH WITHOUT GOING AROUND ME). BMW SAID MY CAR STOPPED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE, SPECIFICALLY DAMAGING THE ENGINE, COSTING ROUGHLY AROUND $18,000. HOWEVER, ALL THE OTHER CARS AROUND ME DROVE IN THE SAME LANE, SAME SPOT, AND SAME TIME IN THIS HEAVY RAIN JUST FINE. I DON'T KNOW WHY MY VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED BY \"WATER\" WHEN ALL THE OTHER CARS AROUND ME WERE JUST FINE. I BELIEVE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR ITSELF, FOR THE CAR SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE HEAVY RAIN LIKE ALL THE OTHER CARS THAT WERE DRIVING JUST FINE AROUND ME.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"328I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10715207,"manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/03/2015","dateComplaintFiled":"05/07/2015","vin":"WBA3B5G59EN","components":"FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"VEHICLE STALLED IN DRIVEWAY OF GAS STATION, JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO STREET.
