<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x5/">X5 xDrive35d</a> crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.<br />
<br />
According to the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/nhtsa/">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a>, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.<br />
<br />
This recall is expected to begin later this month. <a href="/2013/08/19/bmw-recalls-diesel-x5-models-over-fuel-filter-heater/#continued">Scroll down</a> for the official information from NHTSA.</p><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/19/bmw-recalls-diesel-x5-models-over-fuel-filter-heater/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/08/19/bmw-recalls-diesel-x5-models-over-fuel-filter-heater/">BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 19 Aug 2013 11:30:00 EST.
