##宝马在美国召回72万辆汽车，因水泵缺陷存在起火隐患
**IT之家 8 月 22 日消息**，宝马在美国发起了一项大规模召回行动，涉及超过 72 万辆生产于 2012 年至 2018 年间的汽车，原因是这些车辆的水泵存在缺陷，可能导致起火风险。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）发布的召回通知显示，问题源于正曲轴箱通风系统，液体可能会积聚在进气软管上，并滴落在插头连接器上。随着时间的推移，这会导致连接器短路，从而增加车辆起火的风险。
此次召回涉及的车型包括：
* 2012-2015 年 X1 sDrive28i、X1 xDrive28i
*2012-2016 年 Z4 sDrive28i、528i、528i xDrive、328i、328xi
* 2016-2018 年 X5 xdrive 40e
* 2014-2016 年 228i、228xi、428i、428i xDrive、328xi Gran Turismo
* 2013-2017 年 X3 sDrive28i、X3 xDrive28i
* 2015-2018 年 X4 xDrive28i
* 2015-2016 年 428xi
其中，2012-2016 年的宝马 328i 和 328xi 车型受影响最大，涉及 236,702 辆汽车。
宝马方面表示，他们在 2024 年 3 月 19 日首次意识到这一潜在问题，当时韩国国土交通部联系他们询问一起车辆起火事故。宝马随后展开调查，发现美国在 1 月也发生了类似事件。经过数月的调查，宝马发现，在某些罕见的车辆运行条件下，电插头连接器的密封可能会因进气软管滴下的液体而受到影响，从而导致短路。
宝马告诉 NHTSA，他们目前已知有 18 个客户投诉、担忧和现场报告可能与该问题有关，但尚未收到任何事故或受伤报告。
受影响车型的车主将于 10 月 4 日起收到召回通知，并将被指示将车辆带到经销商处进行检查。经销商将对水泵和插头连接器进行检查，如有必要将进行更换，并安装一个防护罩，以转移可能从正曲轴箱通风系统的进气软管滴落在泵上的液体。
此次召回事件再次提醒人们，汽车安全问题不容忽视，及时进行召回并解决潜在隐患，对于保障用户安全至关重要。

**Content:**
BMW has issued a large-scale recall in the United States affecting over 720,000 vehicles produced between2012 and 2018. The recall stems from a defect in the water pump that could lead to a fire risk.
The NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall notice states that the issue originates from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system, where liquid can accumulate on the intake hose and drip onto the plug connector. Over time, this can causethe connector to short-circuit, increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
The recall affects the following models:
* 2012-2015 X1 sDrive28i, X1 xDrive28i
* 2012-2016 Z4 sDrive28i, 528i, 528i xDrive, 328i, 328xi
* 2016-2018 X5 xDrive40e
* 2014-2016 228i, 228xi, 428i, 428i xDrive, 328xi Gran Turismo
* 2013-2017 X3 sDrive28i, X3 xDrive28i
* 2015-2018 X4 xDrive28i
* 2015-2016 428xi
The 2012-2016 BMW 328i and 328xi models are the most affected, with 236,702 vehicles included in the recall.
BMW stated that they first became aware of the potential issue on March 19, 2024, when the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korea contactedthem regarding a vehicle fire incident. BMW then launched an investigation and discovered a similar incident in the United States in January. After months of investigation, BMW determined that under certain rare vehicle operating conditions, the electrical plug connector seal could be compromised by liquid dripping from the intake hose, leading to a short circuit.
BMW toldNHTSA that they are aware of 18 customer complaints, concerns, and field reports that may be related to the issue, but they have not received any reports of accidents or injuries.
Owners of affected vehicles will begin receiving recall notices on October 4th and will be instructed to take their vehicles to a dealershipfor inspection. Dealers will inspect the water pump and plug connector, replacing them if necessary, and install a shield to divert any liquid that may drip from the PCV intake hose onto the pump.
This recall serves as a reminder that vehicle safety issues should not be overlooked. Timely recalls and addressing potential hazards are crucial for ensuringuser safety.
