Component
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The electrical wiring and connectors in your vehicle control the heating and air conditioning system. In some 2006-2011 BMW models, these wires can get too hot and melt, causing a fire hazard when you're not driving, even if you leave your car parked and unattended.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiring overheats, it can cause a fire, which could spread quickly and put you and others at risk of serious injury or property damage.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty wiring and connectors with new ones, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice and take your vehicle to the dealer for the fix.
