E53, X5 from 12/18/2000 up to 09/05/2001
SITUATION
The potential defect involves the engine auxiliary/cooling fan in
certain MY 2001 BMW vehicles.
Fan operation, including variable speed, is electronically
controlled. It is possible for the electrical circuitry in
the fan control unit to overheat and fail, causing the fan
to stop operating. If this were to occur, engine overheating
and subsequent engine damage could result if vehicle continues
to be operated, despite the warning provided by the coolant
temperature gauge.
In addition, it is possible in some cases for the failure of the
electrical circuitry to cause smoldering. In the extreme case, a fire in
the fan control unit, which is mounted in the fan and located in the
front of the engine compartment, could occur. This could happen
either while the engine is running or after the ignition has been
switched off since fan may run for up to 11 minutes after engine
