BMW of North America is recalling 21 model year 2020-2021 M2 Coupes and model year 2020 M4 Coupes.

绿帽献妻 gathered that fuel injectors in the affected vehicles may have been installed without a damping component which is used to reduce vibration.

If a damping component is not present, vibration will increase at the connection between the fuel line and the fuel rail, which over time, can result in damage at the connection, says agency report.

The auto manufacturer noted that a damaged connection between the fuel line and the fuel rail could lead to a fuel leak, and in the presence of an ignition source increase the risk of a fire.

As regards what to do in correcting the error, BMW will notify affected vehicle owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel injectors.

If a damping component is missing, the injectors and the fuel rail will be replaced free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin December 21, 2020, and owners may contact BMW Customer Service on (800) 525-7417.
