What Happened
The wiring in your car's heating and air conditioning system is like the nervous system of your vehicle, sending signals to make it work. In certain models, this wiring and electrical connectors could overheat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiring overheats, it could cause the electrical connectors to melt, even when you're not driving. This could lead to a fire in your vehicle, which is a serious safety risk.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty wiring and electrical connectors with new ones, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and you'll receive a second notice when the work is ready to be done.
