Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL filed August 4, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2116923 (ODI reference 11678198) concerns a 2014 BMW 328D and was filed on August 4, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 28, 2025. The vehicle had 140,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, diesel, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same BMW 328D cohort independently describe similar fuel system, diesel failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 BMW 328D shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2014 BMW 328D. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where the oil filter housing was replaced due to an oil leak. After the repair, the contact drove to the residence and the vehicle was not driven the following few days. The dealer called the contact to inquire updates on the vehicle after the service. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where a diagnostic trouble code for the fuel rail sensor was retrieved. Upon inspection, the mechanic discovered metal inside the fuel system due to the high-pressure fuel pump failure. Upon investigation, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V586000 (Fuel System, Diesel); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
