What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationWhat it applies to, as the document itself states it — the build window in the manufacturer’s own words, read by machine from the PDF NHTSA serves. The build date is on the certification label in the driver’s door jamb; the dealer settles a borderline vehicle by its VIN.
The Fuel Injector Condition-Specific Repair Coverage Program applies to qualifying repairs for the required replacement of one or more the fuel injectors which were determined to have failed due to a buildup of external corrosion in the engine’s center fuel injector bore area that resulted after this location was periodically contaminated by engine coolant residue over time. This special program’s coverage is 15 years / 150,000 miles as determined from the vehicle's original in-service /first delivery date. It is subject to the same vehicle requirements and limitations criteria that applies to the BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks. The repair / replacement of cooling system components and / or the fuel injectors for other issues are excluded under this special coverage.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 6 model years this bulletin names have filed 165 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 18 of them name Fuel/Propulsion System — 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.
The fuel tank was leaking a substantial amount of fuel. Yes it is. Our safety was put at risk due to the fuel leak. Any small spark, overheating or if somebody threw a cigarette butt out of their window could have ignited our car. BMW informed me to immediately cease driving the car and bring to the dealership right away.
2018 BMW M · Fuel/Propulsion System · filed with NHTSA Aug 29, 2024 · ODI 11611640
Engine misfire and loss of power. Too to bmw for check up. It was coolant tank leak into injectors. BMW is not replacing the tank as part of recall. It is changing only injectors even though the recall specifically addresses the tank causing the issue.
2020 BMW M · Fuel/Propulsion System · filed with NHTSA Dec 30, 2025 · ODI 11707818
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 B011724 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 B011724 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 B011724 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years: 2020 BMW 7 Series, 2019 BMW 8 Series, 2021 BMW M, 2020 BMW M, 2019 BMW M, 2018 BMW M. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
