Consumer Description

MY 2009 BMW X5 IS EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUES LISTED ON THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V339000 RELATING TO THE 'FUEL FILTER HEATER/ POSSIBLE FIRE' ISSUE. ALTHOUGH THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ARE EXACTLY AS LISTED ON THE NHTSA RECALL 13V339000 FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL NOTE. I PLEADED WITH THE BMW DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THIS SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE MAKE MODEL AND YEAR ARE THE SAME TO NO AVAIL. MY VEHICLE HAS A WARNING LIGHT INDICATING I HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE HEATER AS WELL AS BATTERY DRAIN ISSUES RELATED TO THE HEATER STAYING ON NOT BY DESIGN. PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH ADDING MY VEHICLE VIN TO THE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK YOU.
