Consumer Description

Recall for PCV valve (NHTSA 17V683) has been outstanding since Oct 2017. I received a letter July 2021 from BMW saying I needed to urgently have this repaired and could lead to a fire. It said parts and remedy are available. Went to BMW dealer 3/8/22 and the dealership is telling me that the system tells them there is no fix available for this recall. (Service agent: Yordano Rios Reyes, and Service center Manager: Mike) I told them I was experiencing an active issue with my car related to the PCV valve (excessive vacuum leading to erratic RPM, loud whistling, and stalls). They said their is nothing they can do, so they are telling me I should drive around with an active safety issue.
