general problems of the 2019 BMW X5 - part 1

I am reporting a safety concern involving BMW vehicles equipped with the b58 technical update (b58tu) engine, commonly found in model years 2019–2021. These vehicles utilize a variable-displacement engine oil pump containing an internal thermoplastic adjusting component responsible for regulating oil pressure. Field failures are increasingly being reported in which this internal component fractures, resulting in sudden loss or instability of engine oil pressure. The failure frequently occurs during cold-start operation in low ambient temperatures. When the component fails, oil pressure regulation becomes erratic or is lost entirely. In many cases, drivers receive little or no actionable warning prior to engine damage or vehicle disablement. Reported precursor symptoms include inability to electronically measure engine oil level, abnormal oil pressure behavior, or sudden drivetrain malfunction warnings. Failures may rapidly progress to engine shutdown or severe mechanical damage caused by oil starvation. Loss of lubrication can cause the vehicle to become disabled without warning while driving or shortly after startup. This creates a safety hazard, particularly when vehicles become immobilized in active traffic or during winter conditions the cold is when they fail the most, where occupants may be exposed to freezing temperatures while awaiting assistance. Replacement of the oil pump requires extensive disassembly of the vehicle and repairs commonly exceed $6,000–$8,000 for just the pump, assuming the motor is unharmed. Owners are currently unable to determine whether their vehicles contain the original thermoplastic oil pump design or a later revised version utilizing metal internal components, as VIN-based parts information now identifies updated components in the car even when no replacement has occurred and the old components are actually in the car. Also, BMW has actively removed the plastic part number out of all dealer networks as well.

Failures have been reported across multiple production years, and affected vehicle population boundaries remain unclear. Because this condition can result in sudden vehicle disablement without adequate warning especially in the cold, I believe this issue warrants investigation as a potential safety-related defect.

I recently took my 2019 X5 to the BMW dealership because of the recall (engine starter) and the code p0456 (nvld minor leak fault). At the same time, there's a warning that says, "oil at a minimum level. Add 1 liter immediately". I have the 3 year oil plan and asked them to put some oil, but the dealership said that they can't add oil because the oil level wouldn’t read properly. They told me they couldn’t diagnose it without charging me an extra $300 for further testing. Then, I read a lot of threads online and it seems that BMW quietly changed the pump to an all-metal design around 2020 but never issued a recall or extended warranty for the earlier cars. There's a lot of customers complaining with the b58tu engine found in many 2019–2021 Bmws (x5 xdrive40i, 540i, 340i, etc. ). The variable oil pump uses a plastic internal adjusting ring that cracks over time. When it fails, oil pressure becomes unstable or is lost, often with little warning. A common early symptom is the oil level sensor test failing and stopping around 12-20%. In the worst cases, it can lead to sudden engine damage or the car shutting down while driving. I called up my mechanic, and he said that this is a common problem and it could be an oil pump issue that needs to be replaced. I asked him for a quote and he said approximately $5k or more. I believe this is a safety defect that deserves investigation hoping for your kind consideration. I plan to keep my car as long as possible thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I am writing to report a significant safety issue associated with BMW vehicles equipped with the b58tu engine, particularly the 2019-2021 models. These vehicles feature an oil pump containing an internal plastic component responsible for regulating oil pressure. There have been numerous instances of this part fracturing in the field, leading to a sudden loss of oil pressure. The failure predominantly occurs during cold starts in low temperatures. When this occurs, oil pressure can fluctuate erratically or be lost completely, often with minimal warning. Potential warning signs include difficulties in electronically measuring the oil level, abnormal oil pressure readings, or sudden drivetrain malfunction alerts. These issues can escalate quickly, resulting in engine shutdown or severe damage due to oil starvation. This situation poses a serious risk, as the vehicle may become inoperable without warning while driving or immediately after startup. Such failures are particularly hazardous when vehicles become immobilized in traffic or during winter conditions, leaving occupants vulnerable to harsh temperatures while awaiting roadside assistance. The replacement of the oil pump necessitates extensive disassembly and typically incurs a cost of $6,000-$8,000, assuming no engine damage has occurred. A significant concern is that owners cannot easily ascertain whether their vehicle is equipped with the original plastic pump or a revised metal component. BMW's VIN-based parts lookup now indicates updated components even if the original plastic parts are still installed. Additionally, the original plastic part number has been removed from dealer networks. Failures have been reported across multiple production years, and the full extent of affected vehicles remains uncertain. Given that this condition can lead to abrupt vehicle disablement without adequate warning—especially in cold weather—this situation warrants investigation as a potential safety-related defect.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the red oil light suddenly illuminated and the messages "stop carefully and turn off engine", “engine oil pressure too low", "continued driving will result in engine damage". The vehicle was towed to the local mechanic, who discovered that the engine oil was black and thick. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, who confirmed that the engine oil was thick and dark, and the engine needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Premature oil pump failure. 2019 BMW X5 with only 46k miles has been diagnosed with an oil pump failure. Vehicle needed to be quickly pulled over and shut off to avoid catastrophic engine failure or engine seize. If this happens on the highway or at any speed the vehicle will lose power and be unsafe to control likely ending in an accident. This is a known issue. BMW produced the vehicle with a flawed oil pump design that has a plastic ring around the impeller. The ring deteriorates and cracks leading to pump failure and loss of oil pressure it is only on limited models early 2019 X5. BMW redesigned with an all metal pump quietly. This issue needs to be addressed with BMW as it is unsafe for these family vehicles to be on the road with such a significant risk to its passengers and others. The failure happens with little to no warning. When contacting BMW they told me they would not consider helping with repairs. The repair for this part is upward of $8k which in turn will likely limit consumers ability to fix proactively. This is totally unacceptable and needs to be addressed by the NHTSA directly with BMW. P.

BMW knowingly did not notify it's 2019 BMW X5 m40i (engine b58) vehicle owners. This is in reference to the faulty design and made plastic engine oil pump. It has been known to fail prematurely due to weaken parts. Some analysis done was from certain oil viscosity's applying additional unneeded stressful pressures. This later was recognized by BMW and a newer design and/or metal sturdier one had taken it's place in subsequent model years starting in 2020. Some owners were able to remediate the oil pump failure and new replacement either covered under intact warranties, and some were covered through quieter negotiations with BMW customer care's authorizations. To my understanding, no recalls were made nor were any techical service bulletins (TSB) made to it's owners. I don't see how BMW can be allowed to get away with an issue of safety which could cause a catastrophic failure of the affected engine? under the circumstances, BMW should be fully reimbursing me for the repairs here, and be glad there were no serious injuries or worse, deaths! I have been in contact with their customer care and nothing has been done to date.

Engine starter overheating. Car won't start until engine cools down. Car would not let my shift into neutral in order to move to a safe location. Was stuck in front of several cars in an unsafe location. No warning message showed up. Car was just inspected and serviced with no indication that this was a problem. Car taken to dealer after incident and inspected produced the same results.

Subject: 2019 BMW X5 xdrive40i – oil pump defect causing oil measurement failure and safety risk I am reporting a safety defect in my 2019 BMW X5 xdrive40i with the 3. 0l b58 inline-6 engine. The vehicle currently has approximately 70,000 miles. The vehicle is unable to properly measure or display engine oil level due to incorrect oil readings, which have been attributed to a failing oil pump assembly containing internal plastic components. Because this vehicle does not have a traditional dipstick, the electronic oil level monitoring system is the only way to verify proper oil level. Due to the defective oil pump design, I am unable to confirm whether the engine has sufficient oil. This creates a serious safety concern because: •the vehicle may be operating with low oil pressure without accurate warning •sudden oil pressure loss could cause engine shutdown while driving •loss of power at highway speeds could result in an accident •catastrophic engine failure could occur without proper oil monitoring this is not normal wear and tear. BMW has reportedly updated the oil pump design in newer model years to use metal internal components, suggesting awareness of a design weakness. However, no recall has been issued for 2019 models. An oil pump that prevents accurate oil level measurement and may fail prematurely presents a significant safety hazard. I respectfully request that this defect be formally investigated and that BMW be required to issue a recall to replace the defective oil pump assembly with the updated metal design.

I am reporting a safety concern involving a 2019 BMW X5 that experienced a sudden and catastrophic engine failure at approximately 75,000–80,000 miles. The failure occurred without any prior warning indicators, dashboard alerts, or fault codes. The vehicle lost engine function and required inspection by an authorized BMW dealership. The dealership documented internal engine damage, including metallic debris in the oil system, oil contamination, and bottom-end engine knocking. A full engine replacement was recommended. This raises safety concerns because: the failure occurred without warning sudden engine failure could create hazardous driving conditions depending on speed and location there may be a broader pattern of similar failures BMW of north America has denied assistance and has not provided any explanation for the cause of the failure. I am submitting this complaint so the incident can be recorded and evaluated as part of any potential defect investigation.

I am reporting a serious safety defect involving the oil pump assembly on my 2019 BMW X5 xdrive40i. While driving at low speed in normal conditions, a sudden dashboard warning appeared stating: “engine oil pressure too low — stop carefully. ” I immediately pulled over and shut off the engine. My vehicle had been serviced by an authorized BMW dealership less than one week earlier, and no faults or issues were identified. There were no warning signs or symptoms prior to the failure. An independent licensed repair facility inspected the vehicle after the incident and confirmed that the oil pump had failed due to a defective plastic internal component used in the pump’s design. The failed parts are available for inspection upon request. This failure created a significant safety risk, as sudden loss of oil pressure can cause engine seizure, loss of power steering, loss of braking assist, and an inability to safely control the vehicle. Had this occurred at highway speeds, the consequences could have been severe. I have since learned that this exact issue has been reported by other owners of 2019 BMW X5 vehicles and other BMW models using the b58 engine, which were equipped with an oil pump containing plastic internal drive components prone to cracking or separating. BMW appears to have updated the oil pump design to a metal version in 2020 and later models, suggesting the manufacturer was aware of the weakness of the earlier design. The defect was confirmed by an independent service center. The vehicle had also been inspected by BMW one week prior during scheduled service, yet no issues were detected. Because this failure presents a clear safety hazard and appears to be related to a widespread design flaw, I respectfully request that NHTSA open an investigation into the oil pump used in 2019 BMW X5 vehicles and consider issuing a safety recall.

A concern regarding my BMW X5 it’s a 2019 X50i it’s my only vehicle that I have to get to and from work and drive my family around. I have been having starting issues at random times I can go a week no issues than randomly. My vehicle doesn’t want to start. Also, I have engine codes that are the same ones that apply to other recalls my starter is my main concern because it is an unsafe situation in certain circumstances because it’s happened at a light due to the auto stop switch I have to turn it off so that problem wouldn’t occur anymore because it also happened on the freeway during traffic that was a scary scenario when I had my family with me luckily it did turn on as I was steering out the way of traffic, I love the car unfortunately it is giving me safety concerns ,I seen there is a recall on NHTSA campaign number: 24v-576 subject : starter motor may fail and overheat according to this my vehicle meets all these criteria’s I need help with further assistance please if you can and thank you for your time.

I bought the car 8 months ago from fred anderson Acura in greenville was told the car was inspected and serviced and I’m was in great condition. 8 months later I have 10 thousand worth safety issues wrong with the car that I have to fix .

Car wouldn't start anymore, starter malfunction. Couldnt go into neutral.

My starter motor overheated and my car would not start and my car indicated the fluids and components were overheated - my dealership confirmed the problem with a video they sent me. If I was still driving the car, I don't know what would have happened to me my daughter and husband in the vehicle. I called my service rep and the dealership is looking into it as my VIN does not have the recall. Nothing was wrong and no lights were on the vehicle prior to the car not starting. I had been driving it for about 25 minutes. In may of this year, not even 6 months ago, they had to replace a "heat management module", which cost me $2500 and they said it is not related. They found 8 fault codes at a frequency of 255. The dealership is telling me this is not related, but I have a hard time believing that.

The contact owns a 2019 BMW X5. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 30-40 mph, the message “low engine oil” and to pull over to avoid engine destruction was displayed. The driver pulled over. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and determined that the internal parts of the oil filter made of plastic had deteriorated. The dealer determined that the engine needed to be taken apart to replace the filter. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and covered half the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Failed components 1. Oil pump $8769. 41 2. Cylinder head assembly- valve cover $4280. 83 3. Center console control panel $3051. 93 4. Transfer case replacement tbd 2019 BMW X5 xdrive40i has multiple major component failures at 70,000 miles. Oil pump failed causing loss of oil-level monitoring. The cylinder head assembly was diagnosed with oil consumption, the transfer case exhibited driveline shuddering, and the center console control panel developed internal electrical faults that affect vital vehicle components. All have been diagnosed by BMW of north haven, CT. The oil pump and transfer case failures have created potential loss of engine lubrication and vehicle control putting my safety at risk. The oil-level test aborts at 16% making it impossible to verify oil quantity or pressure while driving. The shuddering occurs during low-speed turns and acceleration. BMW north America reviewed my case and approved goodwill coverage for transfer-case fluid change all other safety-related repairs have been denied. Supporting BMW service bulletins: •sib 27 02 jerking or shuddering from driveline xdrive transfer case atx13-x (faulty factory oil specification). •sib 11 03 n20/n26 engine timing chain and oil-pump drive chain warranty extension (pattern of oil-pump failures in prior engines). •sib b01 13 front center console cupholder liquid ingress (electrical faults from liquid intrusion in 2019–2022 g05 X5). •sib 65 12 roof-mounted antenna housing seal not adhering (water ingress from shark-fin antenna affecting interior electronics). Note: I paid out of pocket to replace and reprogram thetelematics communication box (tcb) due to faulty seal around shark fin. A class action lawsuit is currently in happening for this exact issue in California. These issues are not normal wear and tear. They represent premature mechanical and electrical failures on a well-maintained vehicle as well as posing a safety risk to me and other drivers.

The oil pump contains a plastic housing that fractured during regular use. (yes, I did retain the part for inspection and can include photos of the defect here). Yes, the problem has been confirmed by my mechanic and the general public with multiple posts and videos shared widely across the internet and in vehicle forums. This failure caused the engine to lose oil pressure abruptly. Had this occurred at highway speeds or in heavy traffic, it could have resulted in a serious accident. BMW is aware of the problem and has redesigned the oil pumps for all X5s starting in 2020. There is no real warning for this potential failure which would cause the engine to cease. The problem is most commonly diagnosed by checking the oil level via the I-drive system electronically, (there is no dipstick for these cars). The oil level cannot be provided on the screen due to significant pressure fluctuations caused by the damaged oil pump- and that's how you know you're at risk of engine failure. There has been no recall for the 2019 vehicles. All 2019 Bmws with the b58 engine, (and the Toyota supra), include this dangerous and expensive design flaw and I believe a recall should be issued; the majority of these cars are still on the road. I estimate the total number of cars to be 250,000 cars. My oil pump had to be replaced or the car would be rendered undriveable. The estimate from BMW dealership #1 exceeded $11,000; the estimate from BMW dealership #2 exceeded $8,000. The car has less than 70,000 miles on it and this is a known issue for this model year.

Known issue regarding failing oil pump in BMW b58 engines.

I purchased a used BMW from a local dealership, unaware that the vehicle had unresolved safety and mechanical issues. Over time, I began experiencing repeated problems including: •power loss and hesitation while driving •malfunctioning engine and drivetrain components •electrical system glitches including dashboard warnings that would disappear before I could document them the car has been in and out of shops for diagnostics, and no lasting fix has been found. These defects have created safety concerns for me and my children, as I transport them daily. The vehicle feels unsafe to operate. I believe I may have been sold a lemon and am now pursuing legal remedies, including this formal safety complaint to report the issue.

Car started hesitating to start then messaged popped up on screen saying my system was overheating I had to pay for a new starter.

While driving in the city, I came across a red light. When the light turned green, my car's engine shut off and the power steering turned off (unable to turn). The screen remained on but I could not start the car. This has only happened in the city when I am driving at a speed of up to 15 miles/hr. Under comfort mode with the auto/stop feature on. This happened about 5 times on different dates where my car shut off but the screen was on. My car shut down in the middle of traffic, causing more traffic and an unsafe situation. Since then, I have turned off the auto/stop feature and have not yet encountered the problem again.

Vehicle didn’t move after coming to a full stop at a traffic light. And it displayed a message stating the starter has overheated and that it needed to cool down. The timer for the cooldown period kept on increasing up to 180 seconds and consequent attempts to start the vehicle after the cooldown period didn’t help.

As my vehicle has an electronic oil level check system, I am unable to check my oil level. It gets to around 20% and then stops checking. As per my research, this is due to the oil pump on this particular model year that causes pressure fluctuations and results in this issue. It is unsafe to drive my vehicle as I am unable to check the oil level.

I have a 2019 BMW X5. My starter failed and I got a notification at the same time through my BMW app that there was a safety recall "recall 24v-576: engine starter – b12 05 24". The recall instructs the dealer that the correction is "dme software update that will prevent the engine starter from being overloaded". This is all fine. It then gives the instruction "note: some vehicles may also be affected by the following technical campaign: 0012240600 check and, if necessary, replace starter motor please ensure that, if possible, both technical actions are processed at the same time. " my issue is that the initial recall is the clear issue causing the starter failure and they have acknowledged this in the technical campaign following. However, my vehicle's VIN is not included in the technical campaign that instructs them to replace the starter even though it was their negligence which caused the failure which they have acknowledged. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? no I paid to have the starter replaced. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? me and my vehicle were left stranded, sometimes in the road due to auto start, multiple times. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? yes, by the dealer. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? yes, inspected by the dealer. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no there were no warnings.

The starter motor overheats when the vehicle tries to start. The car does not always start. You can smell the starter burning. I have had the BMW dealership confirm that the starter is overheating and needs to be replaced. 2 independent mechanics witnessed this happen to my vehicle and confirmed as well. Other 2019 BMW X5 vehicles have been recalled for this exact issue and the fire hazard this causes. But not all X5’sfall under the recall - even though when reading through forums many many 2019 X5 owners have vehicles that are not named in the recall but are having this same exact problem. This is a family vehicle and is proving a fire hazard for my family, including my [xxx] son. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I received a recall on my vehicle for an electrical update and was out of town when it malfunctioned. The vehicle would not start on the first try. Tried again and it immediately overheated, with smoke and a burning smell coming from the hood. It was towed to the dealership, and the starter and battery ended up needing to be replaced. I believe the failure of these parts was caused by the software issue that the recall was for. The dealership refused to compensate for the replacement of the battery and starter, claiming that it was not under the recall. When I reached out to corporate, they also refused to help. The car was at the dealership for a month, and the total cost of repairs was $2,200.

Our 2019 BMW X5 triggered a warning light requiring us to pull over immediately and tow the vehicle to the nearest dealer. It currently has 35,000 miles and the dealer informed us that the oil pump failed. After research and discussion with the dealer this has occurred with multiple 2019 X5's at that particular dealer as well as others. BMW has not issued a recall or extended warranty for the oil pump that is included in the b58 engine. That particular oil pump has casing that is made of plastic that is known to fail. In the 2020 model they then replaced that casing with metal. It is clear BMW knows of this issue and is not taking action to ensure the consumer's safety and investment is addressed.

I have a 2019 BMW X5 that experienced engine failure and required a new battery and starter to be installed. I feel certain that it is related to a recall on some 2019/2020 models but my VIN is not included. [xxx] I received a fault warning for drivetrain malfunction. I took the car to the BMW dealership and was told it was an upper radiator blind failure and had it replaced. The dealership performed a software update per recall sib 120524. The mileage was 36,981. While visiting family in new orleans[xxx] @ [xxx] in the afternoon, on decatur (heart of french quarter) the car died in the middle of rush hour traffic. Fault came up that said ”engine overheat will attempt restart in 180 sec. ” car would not start and had to be towed to local BMW. Highly stressful as I was with my daughter. We had people honking horns, screaming at us, police threatening to ticket us, etc. Ordeal lasted 2 hrs until tow arrived. After 4 days in the BMW shop I was advised a new battery was needed. No indication the starter was checked at this time. Mileage was 40,168. The next day [xxx] when driving home to dallas I pull over to get gas in natchitoches, la. I fill up and try to start car and failure notice shows up ”engine overheat will attempt restart in 180 sec”. Same thing as before new battery installed. The car did not restart even after an hr of waiting. Would not take a jump so we had to be towed to shreveport(1 1/2 hrs away) to closest BMW dealership. I was traveling with my son and was beyond grateful at the kindness of the tow driver as he took us to get food and a hotel that was safe after delivering the car to the dealership. The next afternoon the shreveport dealership determined that the starter failed and it had to be replaced. Mileage was 40,423. I feel I am due repayment for the tows and repairs on what I feel are recall related. I have contacted all 3 dealerships and north America BMW to get the run around. No one wants to take accountability! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of informatio.
