Two problems related to radiator hose have been reported for the 2011 BMW 550. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I own my BMW 550i gran turismo sedan 2011 f10(n63). There is a recall on my exact model. Nhtsa number: 18v248000/ engine and engine cooling. I am having the same exact issues that the recall shows. I have proof of documents showing my water pump failing, getting service water pump and alternator repair. August 24, 2019 shows small evaporations leak, cylinder misfires and has bad head gasket. Water pump failure caused my engine to over heat and bad head gaskets. I also had similar problem as other customers with the turbo coolant hoses, my hoses cracked like glass, ejecting coolant all over the engine and alternator, which caused smoke really bad almost leading to an car crash because I couldn't see on the highway, when I pulled over on the side of the road the alternator was burning up. I have contacted manufacturer BMW of north America and my VIN number is not on the recall list and I have the same exact engine that is recalled(n63/f10) I am needing my car added to the recall list, this mistake nearly cost me and my family life. April 12th, the car was in motion, in kansas city,mo on the highway 435, big clouds of white smoke, engine loss power, causing a car to almost crash into the rear of the car. I am now located in kansas city, mo. I can be contacted by email: jenkins. Cortez@gmail. Com or cell: (816)294-8100.
