BMW has announced a recall of 24,340 vehicles in the U.S. that are equipped with diesel engines.
Model year 2009-2011 X5 xDrive 50i, X6 xDrive 50i and 3-series diesel models are affected by the recall. The company says that certain components, such as the SCR catalyst, DEF mixer and EGR valve may overstate the vehicles mileage, causing emission standards to be exceeded which makes the cars service engine light come one.
BMW will start the recall on May 9, and a letter will be sent to affected owners to make them aware. The repair will require an inspection and replacement of one or more of the components, and a re-programming of the service engine light.
