These are Transport Canada campaigns for 1991 BMW 3 Series vehicles sold in Canada. A Canadian campaign may have no US counterpart, or one under a different number covering different vehicles. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing above and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
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.

On certain 318I, 325I and M3 vehicles, elevated pressure in the cooling system due to overheating could result in cracking of the heater core end piece. Should this happen, coolant could be expelled onto the lower right leg of the driver, possibly resulting in personal injury and/or fogging of the interior surfaces of the windows causing reduced driver vision. Correction: A thermistatic bypass valve will be installed to control coolant temperature in the heater core. Also, a new design radiator cap will be installed to control pressure and provide greater overflow.

On certain 325I vehicles, the windshield wiper switch ground screw, which also secures the wiper on one side, may loosen, causing erratic wiper/washer operation. This could result in impaired driver vision during inclement weather conditions. Correction: Windshield wiper switch ground wire attachment will be relocated on affected vehicles.

Applies only if the manufacturer confirms your VIN · repair by an authorized dealer
On certain 318I, 318IC and 318IS vehicles, at temperatures below -10 degrees centigrade with the engine partially or completely warmed up, condensation from the crankcase ventilation system may freeze at the throttle housing and prevent the throttle plate from fully closing when the accelerator pedal is released. This could result in a slow rate of deceloeration from speed or increased idle speed both of which may adversely affect vehicle control. Correction: Throttle house will be replaced with a version containing a modified heating system and the crankcase vent will be rerouted.
1991163 · 2,040 units in campaign · Transport Canada
Applies only if the manufacturer confirms your VIN · repair by an authorized dealer
On certain 318I and 318IS vehicles equipped with an airbag, the knee bolster may interfere with the lower steering column trim cover during a frontal impact. This may prevent the steering colomn from moving foward as designed, thus increasing the risk of driver injury. Correction: The knee bolster will be modified.

1991 BMW 3 Series recall questions
NHTSA lists no recalls for the 1991 BMW 3 Series in our latest copy of its database. That is not a clearance for your vehicle: campaigns can be issued at any time, and NHTSA's VIN lookup is the record. Transport Canada lists 5 Canadian campaigns for the Canadian-market model, shown separately.
Enter your VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup or BMW's own, or call a BMW dealer with your VIN. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. Transport Canada campaigns cover vehicles sold in Canada. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized BMW dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once BMW's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized BMW dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with BMW so notices reach you, and check NHTSA's lookup from time to time.
