1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2017

This vehicle's fuel pump had an issue which would cause a stall, and it was eventually replaced by BMW just like a recall, but they made sure to emphasize that it was a "limited warranty extension" and was 'not' a recall. Stalling and fuel leaks seem like a recall issue especially with respect to "defects in materials or workmanship" as stated in the attached document. I do not know if this is a newer production of the same defective fuel pump, or a revised version. But if it's the old one, it feels like they're just trying to push the issue further away until it's forgotten. Just like they attempted with the high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) for the older model 335i (2007-2012). Please stop the BMW recall-sorry not-recalls; it's confusing and it leaves large populations of defective vehicles with no accountability whatsoever. Thank you.
