What owners wrote
Car engine caught on fire while driving today and stopped. No smoke or other issues prior. Worried this is related to the recall issued by BMW recently, however my car is not covered under the recall yet. The car is currently located in Vancouver Canada. It was purchased in Tulsa, OK
My car was manufactured in the recall of a fuel pump module but the VIN is not listed so recall does not effect my car. How is this possible and dangerous lost power on highway
