NHTSA Complaint #10582793 — 2006 BMW 325I

THERE IS A CLEAR MANUFACTURER DEFECT CONCERNING THE ALUMINUM BOLTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VALVE COVER GASKET ON THE BMW 2006 325I'S. WITH RESEARCH THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING FROM OTHERS, I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND BMW DOES KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF NOT CORRECTED QUICK DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF OIL FALLING ON TOP OF THE EXHAUST PIPE AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE.THE DEFECTIVE BOLTS POSE A SERIOUS POTENTIAL RISK TO THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES, AS WELL AS TO OTHER DRIVERS WHO SHARE THE ROADWAY WITH THEM. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT BMW NORTH AMERICA ISSUE A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF THE BMW 2006 325I'S AFFECTED BY THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I AM NOT PRIVY TO WHAT CONSTITUTES A VEHICLE'S DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS TO REACH A "RECALL STATUS". *TT
