2019 Bmw X5 Engine Problems

Subject: 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i – Oil Pump Defect Causing Oil Measurement Failure and Safety Risk I am reporting a safety defect in my 2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i with the 3.0L B58 inline-6 engine. The vehicle currently has approximately 70,000 miles.

BMW knowingly did NOT NOTIFY it's 2019 BMW X5 M40i (engine B58) vehicle owners. This is in reference to the faulty design and made plastic engine oil pump. It has been known to fail prematurely due to weaken parts.

Premature oil pump failure. 2019 BMW x5 with only 46k miles has been diagnosed with an oil pump failure. Vehicle needed to be quickly pulled over and shut off to avoid catastrophic engine failure or engine seize.

The oil pump contains a plastic housing that fractured during regular use. (Yes, I did retain the part for inspection and can include photos of the defect here). Yes, the problem has been confirmed by my mechanic and the general public with multiple posts and videos shared widely across the internet and in vehicle forums.

The starter motor overheats when the vehicle tries to start. The car does not always start. You can smell the starter burning.

I received an Important Safety Recall notice indicating that a manufacturing defect could cause my vehicle to catch fire. I brought the car to New Country BMW in Hartford, CT to have this corrected and was advised that I would be charged $2,200 to replace the "TCB" in order to address the safety recall. This does not seem right to charge me to correct a safety defect mandated by NHTSA.

Driving on I-95, dashboard displayed: "vehicle on fire." immediate call to bmw. No such icon or possible entry in bmw vehicles (2 dealerships). Drive to dealership and diagnostics run with no issue with system.

I am writing to report a significant safety issue associated with BMW vehicles equipped with the B58TU engine, particularly the 2019-2021 models. These vehicles feature an oil pump containing an internal plastic component responsible for regulating oil pressure. There have been numerous instances of this part fracturing in the field, leading to a sudden loss of oil pressure.

Dear Sir This is regarding my 2019 BMW X5 VIN [XXX] , purchased on 5/28/2019 from BMW Orland Park IL. I encountered ‘Reduced engine power’ message on 5/8/2023. This vehicle was driven about 40000 miles at that time.

Our vehicle is in for the 4th visit for a persistent oil leak. The first 2 visits resulted in a vehicle inspection and cleaning of engine area with no leak found, stating is was most likely left over oil from messy oil change. The 3rd visit resulted in replacing the rear main seal and problem was resolved per dealer.

I parked my car in my garage, turned it off (the electronics powered down inside the car), and went inside. Approximately 4.5 hours later, my carbon monoxide detectors went off. I searched the home for the source and when I opened my garage door I discovered my vehicle engine had been running for about 4.5 hours in the closed the garage.

Known issue regarding failing oil pump in BMW B58 engines.

As my vehicle has an electronic oil level check system, I am unable to check my oil level. It gets to around 20% and then stops checking. As per my research, this is due to the oil pump on this particular model year that causes pressure fluctuations and results in this issue.
