ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - WIRING - FRONT UNDERHOOD
78V074000	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	from 08/01/1977 to 12/01/1977	V (Vehicle)	28819	05/02/1978	MFR	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	04/04/1978	10/12/1979
Defect Summary	The hex head bolt that connects the main wiring harness to terminal #30 may not have been tightened to the proper torque.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The dealer will remove the fuse panel and retighten the 5-mm hex head bolt in the main power terminal underneath the fuse panel, without charge to owner.
Notes	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: electrical; wiring harness bolt.consequences of defect: due to engine vibration and high engine revolutions,the bolt may become loose over a period of time causing temporary currentinterruption and breakdown of the vehicles electrical system. engine misfiringand temporary blackout of the lighting system may occur during the night time.failure of the lighting system could result in a vehicle accident.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE - FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
78V061000	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	from 09/01/1976 to 02/01/1978	V (Vehicle)	32500	01/16/1979	ODI	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	03/24/1978	10/12/1979
Defect Summary	Due to the high fuel flow rate in the fuel system, conditions of extreme altitude, temperatures, or fuel contamination, may lead to the formation of fuel vapor bubbles.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	The dealer will install an additional fuel pump in the right side of the fuel tank at no charge to owner.
Notes	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: fuel; fuel injector.consequences of defect: this condition may resultn may result in rough enginerunning or stalling. a vehicle stalled in traffic would create a safety hazardwhich could lead to a vehicle accident.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL - SPRINGS
77V092000	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE		V (Vehicle)	22850	08/25/1977	MFR	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	06/16/1977	10/12/1979	571	124
Defect Summary	The involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, accelerator control systems. the two accelerator return springs located on top of engine may oscillate at high engine speeds, which may cause vibration noise and lead to premature spring fatigue and possible breakage. this may make it impossible for the accelerator system to return to idle speed.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install rubber sleeves over the return springs to preclude oscillation, without charge to owner.
Notes	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: throttle linkage and control; return spring.consequences of defect: this condition could adversely affect the driversability to control vehicle speed, which could result in loss of vehicle controland an accident.
80V076000	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	from 09/01/1976 to 07/01/1979	V (Vehicle)	66600	11/04/1980	MFR	BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE	06/19/1980	07/29/1980
Defect Summary	When subjected to the extremely high temperatures that can occur in the engine compartment, the damper sleeves which cover the return springs of the accelerator control system can deform and prevent their returning the throttle to idle position after release of the accelerator pedal.
Consequence Summary
Corrective Summary	Dealer will replace the throttle return damper sleeves with new sleeves of high temperature-resistant plastic material.
Notes	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles.system: throttle control; accelerator; control return spring.consequences of defect: this could result in an unusually excessive (high) idlespeed which could cause loss of vehicle control and an accident.note: if vehicle must be driven prior to repair, moderate speed and increasethe following distances.
