A recall has been issued for the 2010 2011 BMW 5-Series and 5-Series GT models to rectify fuel level sensor issue which makes it indicate more fuel than it actually is in the fuel tank.

The fuel level sensor in the tank can become wedged against the tank sidewalls which makes it display larger amount of fuel than it actually is in the fuel tank. The recall has been revealed on NHTSA’s website which also mentions that the issue isn’t extremely dangerous but if the tank becomes empty, there is a danger of the vehicle stalling increasing the risk of a crash.

A total of 6080 units manufactured through January 12 to July 1, 2010 have been affected. BMW is yet to announce an official recall but expect it to be done very shortly. The BMW 5-Series has been launched just recently in the Indian market and isnt affected. The F10 5-Series is turning out to be a best seller with the car sold out across markets.
