What owners report
This complaint involves a 3rd catastrophic failure of the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) covered under NHTSA Recall 21V-586 (BMW SIB B13 01 21) on a 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d.

I discovered by research there have been two lawsuits: Isley v. BMW of North America LLC, et al., Case No. [XXX] in the U.S. District Court for the Dis

Product: Diono Monterey 2XT Highback Booster Issue type: Child restraint usability / fit concern There is a significant height usability gap between Dionoâs convertible seats and the Monterey 2XT booster. My child is approximately 32ââ40â tall and cannot safely use either seat, leaving no appropriate Diono option during this growth range. This presents a real-world safety and usability issue for caregivers attempting to follow manufacturer guidance.
