I am reporting a recurring catastrophic high-pressure fuel-pump/fuel-system failure in my 2018 BMW X5 after BMW previously repaired the same type of failure, and subsequently performed the NHTSA hpfp recall on my vehicle. I am a 71 year old driver. This was a repeat catastrophic failure after recall 21v-586 was performed and the loss of propulsion on the freeway was terrifying, and I almost crashed into other cars! at 42,763 miles, the vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure while being driven. The vehicle shut off while driving and would not restart. Santa monica BMW documented a “high pressure fuel pump malfunction” and fault codes. BMW's technician followed the fuel-system test plan and reported that the fuel quality control valve had metal shavings. See invoice 42,763. Pdf BMW subsequently issued NHTSA recall 21v-586 concerning the hpfp on affected BMW diesel vehicles, including my vehicle. BMW performed the recall repair at weatherford BMW at approximately 58,292 miles. The repair order identifies the work as “perform recall b130121 high pressure fuel pump” and documents replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump. See invoice 58,292. At 120,945 miles, the vehicle experienced another, similar catastrophic failure while I was again driving on a freeway. Weatherford BMW subsequently diagnosed multiple fuel/rail-pressure faults. The technician removed the fuel quantity control valve to check for swarf and found magnetic metal shavings in the fuel system. See invoice 120,945 these failures are particularly concerning to my safety. I am submitting this complaint to the NHTSA because I believe the recurrence of a catastrophic system failure, including metal contamination and loss of propulsion, after BMW previously replaced the complete fuel system under warranty and subsequently performed the hpfp recall remedy, warrants investigation to determine whether the recall remedy or the underlying hpfp/fuel-system defect can cause a subsequent failure of this nature.
