Vehicle-Specific Recall Note
NHTSA campaign 97V131000 involves the vehicle speed control on certain 1995 BMW 840Ci models. The cruise control and throttle cables are attached to the same throttle valve actuating lever, where plastic bushings on either cable may break due to vibration and environmental influences. If a bushing breaks, the outer cable housing can separate from the bushing, potentially causing the throttle valve to remain partially open during throttle pedal application. This could result in the vehicle not decelerating as expected, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers can install a spring steel clip on the outer tube of each cable to prevent dislodgment. A VIN-level recall check is required to determine if a specific vehicle is affected or has an unrepaired recall.
Engine Oil Notes
Confirm any applicable vehicle-manufacturer requirements before ordering oil or servicing the vehicle.
