What This Recall Means

What Happened
The TurboCord Portable Charger is a device that helps charge your car when it's parked. But in some 2018-2019 BMW models, the capacitors inside this charger can fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the capacitors fail, you could get an electrical shock or the charger could catch fire. This could lead to serious injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed
