1979 Bmw 320iComponentVehicle Speed Control:Springs Consequence of Defectwhen subjected to the extremely high temperatures that can occur in the engine compartment, the damper sleeves which cover the return springs of the accelerator control system can deform and prevent their returning the throttle to idle position after release of the accelerator pedal. Corrective ActionRecall Notesdealer will replace the throttle return damper sleeves with new sleeves of high temperature-resistant plastic material. 1978 Bmw 320iComponentVehicle Speed Control:Springs Consequence of Defectwhen subjected to the extremely high temperatures that can occur in the engine compartment, the damper sleeves which cover the return springs of the accelerator control system can deform and prevent their returning the throttle to idle position after release of the accelerator pedal. Corrective ActionRecall Notesdealer will replace the throttle return damper sleeves with new sleeves of high temperature-resistant plastic material. 1978 Bmw 320iComponentTires Consequence of Defectdue to a material stuctural defect, the rubber seal between the metal valve stem and rim allows slow seepage of air around the valve base. Corrective ActionRecall Notesthe dealer will replace defective metal tire valve stems and rubber seals with new ones, at no cost to the customer. 1978 Bmw 320iComponentElectrical System:Wiring:Front Underhood Consequence of Defectthe hex head bolt that connects the main wiring harness to terminal #30 may not have been tightened to the proper torque. Corrective ActionRecall Notesthe dealer will remove the fuse panel and retighten the 5-mm hex head bolt in the main power terminal underneath the fuse panel, without charge to owner. 1978 Bmw 320iComponentFuel System, Gasoline:Fuel Injection System Consequence of Defectdue to the high fuel flow rate in the fuel system, conditions of extreme altitude, temperatures, or fuel contamination, may lead to the formation of fuel vapor bubbles. Corrective ActionRecall Notesthe dealer will install an additional fuel pump in the right side of the fuel tank at no charge to owner. 1977 Bmw 320iComponentVehicle Speed Control:Springs Consequence of Defectwhen subjected to the extremely high temperatures that can occur in the engine compartment, the damper sleeves which cover the return springs of the accelerator control system can deform and prevent their returning the throttle to idle position after release of the accelerator pedal. Corrective ActionRecall Notesdealer will replace the throttle return damper sleeves with new sleeves of high temperature-resistant plastic material. 1977 Bmw 320iComponentVehicle Speed Control:Springs Consequence of Defectthe involved vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 124, "accelerator control systems". the two accelerator return springs located on top of engine may oscillate at high engine speeds, which may cause vibration noise and lead to premature spring fatigue and possible breakage. this may make it impossible for the accelerator system to return to idle speed. Corrective ActionRecall Notesdealer will inspect and, if necessary, install rubber sleeves over the return springs to preclude oscillation, without charge to owner. 1977 Bmw 320iComponentElectrical System:Wiring:Front Underhood Consequence of Defectthe hex head bolt that connects the main wiring harness to terminal #30 may not have been tightened to the proper torque. Corrective ActionRecall Notesthe dealer will remove the fuse panel and retighten the 5-mm hex head bolt in the main power terminal underneath the fuse panel, without charge to owner. 1977 Bmw 320iComponentFuel System, Gasoline:Fuel Injection System Consequence of Defectdue to the high fuel flow rate in the fuel system, conditions of extreme altitude, temperatures, or fuel contamination, may lead to the formation of fuel vapor bubbles.
