I had the recall repair for the HVAC harness done in 2018, and the recall fix failed in 6/22, I took it into BMW and they determined there was a short, I do not know why a replacement part failed so soon in my eyes after being replaced for a recall. I had to pay $670 to fix this issue from a "free" recall fix, this seems like an issue to me with their replacement harnesses. There are a lot of posts on forums about people having to replace the harness again after the fix. I've never had issues with any wiring on any other car, and sure seems odd that BMW has failures as such. I don't know what can be done by you if anything but I am reaching out because BMW is standing by their 2 yr warranty on fixes and making people pay for the repair themselves again after a recall.

THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP) ON THIS MODEL 335IS CONTINUES TO FAIL AFTER TIME. THE N54 MOTOR WAS INITIALLY RELEASED IN 2007-2009 AND THEN REPLACED WITH THE N55. THE HPFP ON THE 2007-2009 MODELS HAVE NOW AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO HIGH FAILURE RATES. BMW RE-RELEASED THIS ENGINE IN THE 2011-2013 335IS MODELS ONLY, AND THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME CONCERN AS THE FIRST SET OF VEHICLES. AT 54K MILES, MY VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65MPH LOST POWER AND FORCED ME TO DRIVE ACROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL OVER. THE ENGINE COMPUTER STATED "ENGINE LOSS OF POWER, DRIVE WITH CAUTION. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE. TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST BMW SERVICE FACILITY." AT 82K MILES, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AND THE SAME WARNINGS APPEARED AGAIN. "ENGINE LOSS OF POWER, DRIVE WITH CAUTION. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE. TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST BMW SERVICE FACILITY." HPFP FAILURE HAS LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE IN "LIMP" MODE, INITIAL COLD CRANK LAG AT STARTUP, MISFIRES IN ALL CYLINDERS, AND "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ILLUMINATED.
