Summary
On certain vehicles, failure of a cooling system component such as thermostat, water pump or fan belt can result in a significant increase in coolant temperature and system pressure. Increased system pressure could result the formation of a crack or separation of a seam in the heater core end piece which would cause hot coolant to be expelled from the heater core. This hot fluid could contact car occupants resulting in possible personal injury and/or fogging of the interior window surfaces. Correction: Radiator cap will be replaced with a new design cap in order to avoid buildup of excessive pressure in the cooling system.
Summary
On certain 318I, 318IC, 318IS, 325IC, 325IS, 325IX, 525I, 535I, 735I and 735IL vehicles, the fuel feed hose could harden and "set" over time due to engine compartment temperatures. If this "setting" occurs, it is possible that seepage between the hose and fitting could result because the clamp cannot provide sufficient sealing force to compensate for the hardening of the hose. Fuel seepage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in an engine compartment fire. Correction: fuel feed hoses and associated clamps will be replaced with ones of a new design.
Summary
On certain 525I, 535I, 735I, 735IL and 750IL vehicles, the front seat center fold-down armrest may contact and damage the seatbelt buckle if the seat back is moved forward to an upright position while the armrest is locked in the down position (horizontal). If this occurs, the release button may be held in the down position, preventing the seatbelt from being latched during the buckle-up operation. Non-latching of the seatbelts will increase the risk of personal injury in the event of a crash. Correction: Front seat safety belt buckles will be replaced with shorter ones that are not susceptible to damage by contact with the armrest.
Summary
Certain 750IL vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 1103 - Exhaust Emissions.

Summary
On certain 750IL vehicles, during the assembly process, the gas pedal may not have been properly attached to the floor pan. If the gas pedal is operated in a rough or erratice manner, it may become stuck between the gas pedal stop (on the floor pan) and the carpeting on the transmission tunnel. If this occurs, the pedal might not return fully to the idle position when the driver's foot is removed and loss of control could result. Application of the brake pedal will close the throttle on this model of vehicle. Correction: Accelerator pedal will be inspected and tightened to the floor is required. Also, a modified pedal stop will be installed.
