Official safety recall2015Campaign 21V907000Fuel leak and fire risk
The EGR cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold.
NHTSA campaign 21V907000 includes certain 2015 BMW 7 Series vehicles. BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2013-2018 328d, 328d xDrive, 2014-2018 328d Sports Wagon, 328d xDrive Sports Wagon, 2014-2016 535d, 535d xDrive, 2015 740Ld xDrive, 2015-2017 X3 xDrive28d SAV, and 2014-2017 X5 xDrive35d SAV diesel vehicles equipped with an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) module with an integrated cooler. The EGR cooler may leak internally, causing coolant to mix with diesel engine soot, which could result in smoldering particles and a melting intake manifold. A melting intake manifold increases the risk of a fire.
Symptoms to compare
- A fuel odour, visible leak or warning light may be present, although some vehicles show no warning
- An open campaign appears when the complete VIN is checked
- Some recalled vehicles may show no advance warning before the component fails
Other ways owners describe it: car smells like gas; fuel leaking under car; strong petrol smell; gas smell after parking; fuel line recall; car could catch fire.

Limit: Do not buy parts from the campaign description alone. VIN scope, superseded remedies and parts availability can change.
Check the complete VIN before arranging workBasic check · 5 minutes
Enter the 17-character VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup and ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to confirm whether the campaign is open for this vehicle.
Limit: A year, make and model match does not prove that every vehicle is included. The VIN result controls eligibility.
Evidence for this issue
- 21V907000: Official campaign record for BMW 7 Series
NHTSA safety recall · Nov 19, 2021
NHTSA campaign data lists the defect, safety consequence and manufacturer remedy. The manufacturer filing lists 50,404 potentially affected units across the complete campaign.
Confirm who pays before authorizing work
A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.
Prepare a useful description for the mechanic →Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.

What can the data tell you about 2015 BMW 7 Series?
No model-specific individual-repair price keys are retained for BMW 7 Series in this library. Generic parts and labor estimates, public records and separate annual cost references may still be available.
An unmatched specification is an information gap. Do not borrow an engine or drivetrain from another year.
Recall and communication counts describe records. They cannot establish a breakdown probability or current VIN status.
Price-key audit reviewed October 12, 2026; EPA source snapshot 2026-08-07. Individual-repair ranges and annual repair-budget references are different datasets.
Cost-library audit
The evidence behind a repair estimate
In our 44-category library, 24 categories have attached published benchmarks and 20 use planning assumptions. The audit separates the appearance of a precise total from the strength and scope of its inputs.
