BMW M5 (16/01/2018 – 24/05/2018) RECALL: The fault affects the fuel level sensor within the fuel tank. The distance between the sensor and an in-tank fuel line could be too small which could allow the sensor to contact the fuel line and in some cases become stuck. If the fuel sensor becomes stuck the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster displays a larger amount of fuel than is actually in the tank. Therefore the tank could become empty leading to the engine stalling without prior warning.
Remedy
On the affected vehicles the fuel line supply unit system will be reworked.
