BMW is recalling about 32,000 cars and crossovers because the circuit board for the electric auxiliary water pump can overheat.
The recall covers the 5-series sedan and Gran Turismo, the 7-series, the X5 and the X6 from the 2008 to 2011 model years equipped with V8 or V12 engines.
Two engine fires have resulted from 102 failures, according to BMW. It starts with smoldering of the pump and could spread elsewhere under the hood.
