BMW employees wipe the new BMW Z4 M Coupe which is on display as a first world presentation at the 76th Geneva motor show in Geneva, Switzerland, on Feb. 28, 2006.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.BMW is adding nearly 185,000 vehicles to a 2017 recall for possible engine fires.The recall expansion covers a dozen 3 Series, 5 Series, and Z4 models from the 2006 model year.

BMW says in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that moisture can get into the cars' positive crankcase ventilation valve heater and cause plastic parts to degrade. That can lead to an electrical short and possible fire even when the engine isn't on.Dealers will replace the heater at no cost to owners. The recall is scheduled to start May 28.

BMW monitored reports from the field and found"several field incidents" involving 2006 3-Series vehicles, so the company decided to add to the recall from November of 2017, according to documents posted Thursday. It was not clear if those incidents were fires. Messages were left seeking comment from a BMW spokesman. Documents say that BMW is not aware of any accidents or injuries caused by the problem.

Vehicles added to the recall include the 525i, 525xi, 530i, 530xi, 530xi Sports Wagon, 325i, 325xi, 325xi Sports Wagon, 330i, 330xi, Z4 3.0i and Z4 3.0si from the 2006 model year.The PCV valve heater is designed to prevent the valve from freezing in cold temperatures, BMW said. But irregularities in manufacturing can cause corrosion and can lead to overheating.
