SITUATION
Component-Specific Extended Limited Warranty (ELW)

described below, BMW of North America, LLC
(BMW NA) is extending the limited warranty for
the vehicle’s Evaporative Emission Control
(EVAP) System’s Purge Valve to:
•

15 years/150,000 miles as determined by
the vehicle’s original first in-service /
delivery date.

This component-specific extended limited
warranty (ELW) applies to defects in materials
and/or workmanship.
This coverage applies to the vehicle, is transferable, and is subject to the same vehicle eligibility
requirements, limitations, and exclusion criteria that apply to the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty
for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks.
Note: This bulletin is notice of a limited warranty extension. This is NOT a notice of a Recall or
Service Action.
There is no immediate repair required unless the BMW vehicle is currently experiencing this problem.
Customer Notification Letter
Even though this is NOT a Recall, BMW NA is sending VIN-specific customer notification letters.

CAUSE
Over time, the EVAP system’s vent (purge) valve may develop material (micro leaks) and operational
issues, this can cause hard starting, and a rough running engine, especially at idle.
There could also be an audible metallic noise emanating internally from the purge valve.
Additionally, your vehicle will store the corresponding fault codes that may also be generated, and the
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
One or more of the following or similar fault codes may be entered in the DME fault memory:
•
•
•
•
•

118001 - mixture control: Mixture too lean,
118401 - mixture control: Mixture too lean, large deviation,
190F08 - fuel tank ventilation system: malfunction,
191C02 - fuel tank ventilation system, 2nd discharge point: malfunction, and/or
195014 - differential pressure sensor, tank vent valve, signal: stationary

CORRECTION
Follow the instructions in the PROCEDURE section.

PROCEDURE

If a vehicle listed above arrives at your center with the issue described in this Service Information
Bulletin, perform the corresponding diagnosis and when applicable, replace the EVAP system’s vent
(purge) valve as instructed or as determined by the diagnosis.
And only if required, refer to SI B16 01 07 “Testing Evaporative System for Leaks,” corresponding time
support is required.
No other required EVAP system-related repairs are covered under this ELW coverage. When
applicable, invoice these items on the repair order separately, and review for other coverage that may
apply.
