2023-2024 BMW i4, i5, i7 Coolant Valve Delivery Stop

Important Warnings

BMW has issued a critical advisory regarding this Delivery Stop. Dealers are instructed: "Do not deliver to a customer, a New, Certified Pre-Owned or Used vehicle subject to a Delivery Stop, until the vehicle is repaired. Do not use or sell replacement equipment/parts subject to a Delivery Stop."

Symptoms

Quality checks have identified that the coolant changeover valve may develop a coolant leak. This issue is specifically observed under very low outside temperatures, defined as significantly lower than 32°F (0°C). While no specific dashboard warnings are detailed in the bulletin, a coolant leak could lead to reduced cooling system efficiency or visible fluid loss.

Diagnosis / Trigger Conditions

The potential for a coolant leak from the coolant changeover valve was identified through BMW's internal quality checks. The condition is triggered by exposure to very low temperatures. This Delivery Stop, identified as SIB 64 06 24, applies to certain 2023-2024 BMW i4 (G26), i5 (G60), and i7 (G70) models produced between April 21, 2023, and January 12, 2024.

Repair Procedure Summary

The correction for this issue involves replacing all affected coolant changeover valves. The specific repair procedure depends on the number of valves present in the vehicle:

• For vehicles with one changeover valve (e.g., G26 i4, G70 i7): Technicians must follow Repair Instruction 64 12 790, which details the process for "Replacing the coolant changeover valve (After vehicle diagnosis) (coolant changeover valve 2 for high-voltage battery)."
• For vehicles with more than one changeover valve (e.g., G60 i5 with three valves): Technicians are directed to follow Repair Instruction 17 61 625, also for "Replacing the coolant changeover valve (After vehicle diagnosis) (coolant changeover valve 2 for high-voltage battery)."

This repair ensures the proper function of the coolant system, preventing the potential for a BMW i5 coolant valve leak.
