BMW of North America, Inc. has voluntarily initiated a recall campaign which involves the oxyge sensor wiring harness of the affected vehicles. The potential defect is due to a possible incorrect oxygen sensor harness routing during production. The oxygen sensor harness may have been mistakenly secured with clips to the exhaust heat shield and/or to a bracket on the transmission housing. Due to the movement between the vehicle body, transmission and exhaust system the oxygen sensor harness may stretch and break over time causing the check engine light to illuminate an fault code 70, (oxygen sensor disconnected) to set in the DME.
This Recall Campaign affects E36 318i vehicles with M42 engines produced from 8/94 - 12/95. The procedure given in this bulletin must be performed on all affected vehicles identified on DCS. (A copy of the letter which will be sent to all affected customers is attached to this S.I.) In order to determine if a specific vehicle is affected by this recall, it will be necessary to utilize the "Service Menu" of the DCS (Dealer Communication System). Based on the response of the system, either proceed with the corrective action or take no further action. The Chassis Number Ranges listed below are only for informational purposes and are not to be considered as the only deciding factor. The affected vehicles are limited to vehicles within these ranges but not all of these vehicles are affected by the recall. The final decision is the DCS inquiry.
