Read by machine from the document NHTSA serves (20 pages), read Sep 30, 2026. A part number is shown only where it matches BMW’s own catalogue shape, an operation only with its code and time, and a description only where the reader got it whole; anything it could not settle is left out, and the PDF is the record. Times are the manufacturer’s warranty allowances, not a quote.
The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 9 model years this bulletin names have filed 738 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 282 of them name Engine — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2016 BMW 5 Series, the 18 owners who gave an odometer reading for Engine reported it at a median of 80,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.
The contact owns a 2017 Bmw X3. While driving various speeds, the vehicle failed to respond when the brake pedal was depressed. Instead, the vehicle lurched/ accelerated forward. The failure occurred six times. The contact placed both feet on the brake pedal and shifted the gear into neutral to stop the vehicle.

Diesel fuel pump failed while driving on the road. I also own a 2014 328d BMW which was recalled earlier where the diesel fuel pump was replaced by the dealership. While driving on the road, the car unexpectedly turned off in traffic. I managed to get the vehicle off the road and called a tow truck.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is BMW 1171901000 a recall?
No. A warranty extension is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 1171901000 repair free?
A warranty extension is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 1171901000 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 9 model years: 2018 BMW 3 Series, 2017 BMW 3 Series, 2016 BMW 3 Series, 2016 BMW 5 Series, 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone. The document itself sets the build window: Sedan: built 13 Feb 2014 – 8 May 2015; 2016 535d Sedan: built 8 Jul 2013 – 24 Aug 2016; built 4 Jul 2013 – 21 Sep 2016 — the build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb.
