“Received installation of recalled radiator cap at vob Bmw in 9/27/99 (98v178000) that was supposed to keep the Bmw cars from overheating which causes the engine to overheat and burnup. On 5/9/00 the temp was 95 degrees f, after running my air conditioning, my car began to smoke heavily and the engine burned-out before I could get it all the way off the road. The service mechanic I had my car towed to, found that the radiator and engine both had a large hole in each. Also, the water pump impeller which is plastic was broken or melted off. …”
