ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer

What Happened
The starter motor in your vehicle is responsible for turning the engine on and off. In some 2021-2024 models, an internal component can wear out, causing the starter to overheat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the starter motor overheats, it could catch fire, which increases the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty starter motor with a new one, free of charge. You'll receive a letter when the repair is ready, and you can also call BMW or Toyota customer service to find out more.
