2018 BMW M5 Recalled Because Of Faulty Fuel Gauges

To fix the issue, dealers will secure the in-tank fuel line to prevent the fuel line from contacting the sensor free of charge. In total, 1,645 examples of the 2018 BMW M5 are being recalled in the US, with the campaign starting on September 10. While the fault is clearly a potential safety hazard that obviously needs to be fixed as soon as possible, most BMW M5 buyers are more concerned about the performance than the fuel economy.

Under the hood is a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 that produces 591 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to all four wheels as standard, but the new M5 can also be switched to rear-wheel drive at the push of a button. 0-62 mph takes 3.4 seconds before the German super sedan tops out at 155 mph, but the optional M Driver's increases that figure to 190 mph.
