BMW X5 ( 17/08/2015 – 17/08/2015) DEFECT: It has been identified that the bolt that connects the ground cable from the wiring harness of the Digital Motor Electronics (DME) to the engine block may not have been tightened/torqued to the correct specification. This can lead to an under voltage supply which can trigger a reset of the DME. This can result in the engine cutting out or depending on vehicle speed to restart/turn on the engine once the reset has been completed.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required retorque the bolt for the ground cable on the engine block.
