What's wrong?
The high pressure fuel pump on the 2019-2020 BMW X7, M850I, 750I, X5, and M5 is mounted to the engine and feeds fuel to the injection system at the pressure the engine needs. Its flange is the mounting surface that helps hold the pump in place and seal fuel inside the system.
On affected vehicles, the pump was not attached to the engine according to BMW specifications. That incorrect attachment puts stress on the pump flange over time. If the flange cracks, fuel can leak from the pump area instead of staying contained in the fuel system.
If the flange is damaged, occupants can smell fuel inside or around the vehicle. The engine can also switch into emergency mode, and a fuel leak can be visible during inspection or after the vehicle has been parked.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a BMW technician replaces the high pressure fuel pumps covered by recall 19V513. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program. BMW states a separate pre-notice reimbursement plan is not necessary because the warranty covers this condition if it occurred before the recall notice. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
