BMW i8 ( 21/03/2014 – 12/09/2014) DEFECT: It is possible that lubricant contamination may result in the high current welding of the bolt for the fuel tank earth strap not being to specification. This could over time result in the fuel tank leaking. The driver will become aware of the leak either by the smell or dripping fuel after refuelling.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles and inspect the fuel tank. If necessary replace the fuel tank.
