If your BMW 5-Series GT has covered several hundred miles since you last filled up and the fuel gauge needle hasn't moved a bit from 'Full', it isn't because of your eco-driving skills nor the car's extreme fuel efficiency. More than 6,000 owners of certain 2010 and 2011 model year BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo fastbacks manufactured from January 12 through July 1, 2010, are being cautioned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about a problem concerning their car's fuel gauge.

According to the release on NHSTA's website, the 5-Series Gran Turismo's fuel level sensor within the fuel tank can become wedged against the tank. If this occurs, then the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster will display a larger amount of fuel than what's actually in the tank.

The German automaker has not yet provided details on the fix nor a notification schedule on the recall. Concerned owners of the affected models can contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417.
So it looks like GT's have the issue, so this may be the same issue that some of our F10 owners are hearing about?
