  Fuel system, gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
  Covers: BMW 535 1989–1993, 525 1989–1993, 325 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: Under certain conditions, front seat center, fold-down arm rest may contact the safety belt buckle, causing damage to the release button and preventing the belt tongue from latching when buckling up.

  Possible consequence: Occupant would not be properly restrained and could be injured in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

  Remedy: Replace front seat safety belt buckles with shorter version that will not contact the armrests. Note: owner notification date; 2/90 is prepared in draft form.
