What Happened
The control module in your vehicle's footwell area is a critical part that helps keep your electrical systems running safely. It's at risk of short-circuiting due to corrosion from water and road salt in certain regions, especially where you live in the snow belt.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, it could cause a fire in your vehicle, which is a serious safety risk. This could lead to a loss of control and potentially harm you or others nearby.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will inspect the affected areas and replace any damaged components, all at no charge to you. You'll need to schedule the repair once you receive the recall notice, which was mailed on May 13, 2024.
