Bmw 5-Series GT recalled due to a potential faulty fuel sensor

Bmw announced today that it will recall 6,080 2010 and 2011 5-Series Grand Turismo models due to a potential faulty fuel sensor. Apparently, this sensor has a a lever that can become wedged against the tank.

As a result, the driver might receive inaccurate fuel readings on the dashboard. The problem is that the gauge could display more fuel that what is in the fuel tank.

Shouldn’t be a big problem for BMW, as there aren’t that many sold & running on the road anyway.

It makes me appreciate the sedan so much after seeing this Quasimoto version. Back the dealer you go you humpback of Munich.
