⚠️ Risk

null The casing of the auxiliary coolant pump may crack. If this occurs, coolant can leak into the pump electronics. This can lead to failure of the auxiliary coolant pump. In a few individual cases, there may be smoulder damage to the auxiliary coolant pump. If this occurs, an engine compartment fire or even a vehicle fire could occur.

The ALPINA5 vehicles in question were manufactured between April 2011 and May 2011.
