  Covers: BMW 325 1989–1993, 525 1989–1993, 318 1989–1993 +2 more

  Reported issue: Feed fuel hoses can harden and "set" over time, allowing a seepage of fuel at the connection between the hose and the engine fitting. The clamp used to hold the hose to the fitting is unable to compensate for the hardening of the feed fuel hose.

  Possible consequence: Fuel seepage between the feed fuel hose and the engine fitting can result in free fuel in the engine compartment, which could result in a fire when exposed to a source of ignition.

  Remedy: A redesigned feed fuel hose and hose clamp will be installed to alleviate the fuel seepage.

  Reported issue: The malfunction or failure of a coolant system component results in significantly increased coolant temperature and a resulting increase in system pressure.

  Possible consequence: Vehicles operated under this increased cooling systempressure condition can suffer damage or failure of parts of the cooling systemsuch as (1) leakage from a coolant hose, (2) leakage of the radiator orexpansion tank, (3) disconnection of a hose from a pipe or a fitting, and (4)cracks in the heater core end piece…

  Remedy: Dealers will install a thermostatic bypass valve in the engine compartment to control coolant temperature in the heater core. Also, a new design radiator cap will be installed, to control pressure and provide greater coolant overflow in the event of overheating.
