Two problems related to water pump have been reported for the 2010 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine electric recall for electric water pump. Car was brought into service at tulley BMW in nashua for issue with water pump. Service advisor said " only need to replace a few bolts " I feel the car has only 46,000 and is overheating to excess showing temperature gage. Had vehical towed over 100 miles to local service station - failed electric water pump - " recall issue " dealer failed to service. Engine is overheating - dealer wants to charge $ 1,500. 00 to repair.
I was driving the car and I received an overheating signal on the dash. I turn car off and let it cool off but ut did not wokrd. I kept having the same overheating issued. I noticed there is a recall but BMW X5 2010 to 2011 for the same issued of the water pump. I took it to the dealership and the do not want to fix it stating my car is not part of the recall. I argued that is the same make, model and year of the recall. I was told there was nothing hey can do. I called BMW of America and stated the same problem but no help. My concern is if those 2010 to 2011 BMW X5 are having the same problem, why is mine not included in the recall when is has been clearly diagnotic by BMW that the water pump is the problem.
