2014 BMW X5 Fuel System Problems

High Pressure Fuel Pump failed without any sensor notification or prior indication causing the car to suddenly go into safety mode shut down and lose all propulsion while driving at speed. This is a known NHTSA recall issue Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-586 specific to 2014 BMW X5 xdrive35d. Attempting to understand WHY this VIN is not included in the recall list especially in light of the fact the resulting catastrophic failure defined is exactly why the recall was supposed to prevent.

Vehicle shutoff at high rate of speed causing me to not have power steering or brakes. This was very frightening and lucky to not cause a major accident. This was due to the High Pressure Fuel Pump failing that has extended warranty but should be a recall as this is very dangerous.

Almost caused a major accident when High Pressure Fuel Pump failed unexpectedly while driving. Good thing my family was not in car when this happened. This is completely unacceptable and should be recalled on this vehicle just like many others of this model. I have included picture of metal shavings in fuel system from high pressure fuel pump failure.

High pressure fuel pump Failure

2014 BMW x5 xdrive35D equipped with a Bosch Cp4 (HPFP) High Pressure Fuel Pump that is known to implode., cause severe damage to my vehicles fuel system that is costing me thousands in repairs. My year make model and build year all fall under the recall but my vin is not on the recall list. BMW has no answers for me and just says nothing they can do. BOSCH CP4 HPFP failed and released metal shavings throughout all fuel lines, injec BMW had a recall for 12K vehicles but mine was not on the recall list and BMW cannot explain why given that my fuel pump exploded like so many other BOSCH CP4 . I believe BMW knew that these pumps were bad and did not notify all owners that had them in in their car.
