ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY

Manufacturer

What Happened
The starter in your vehicle is the part that helps get your engine running. In certain models, the starter's internal component can wear out and overheat, causing a potential fire.
Risk if Unfixed
If the starter overheats, it could catch fire, which is a serious risk to your safety and could result in injuries, even if you're not inside the vehicle.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty starter assembly with a new one at no cost to you. You'll get a letter with more information once the repair is ready, and you can also contact BMW or Toyota customer service for more details.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened

If your doors don't lock as they should, they could open during a crash, which could increase your risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the software in your Body Control Module for free, so schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice. This will ensure your doors lock properly and keep you safe.
