The driveshaft in your vehicle is like a long metal rod that connects the transmission to the rear wheels, helping your vehicle move. In some 2022-2026 and 2021-2023 BMW models, the connection between the driveshaft and the rear differential might become damaged, causing problems. If the connection fails, your rear wheels could lose power while you're driving, increasing the risk of a crash. If you're not parked on a slope or don't have the parking brake on, a damaged driveshaft could also make your vehicle roll away, raising the risk of a crash or injury. Your BMW dealer will check the driveshaft and rear differential connection, and make any necessary repairs or replacements — free of charge. This repair should be done as soon as you get the recall notice, and you can contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.

The fire could also damage other parts of your vehicle. Your BMW dealer will replace the faulty starter assembly with a new one, at no cost to you.
