ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
What Happened
The starter motor in your vehicle is the part that helps start the engine. In certain 2019-2021 BMW models, this motor can overheat from an electrical overload if it fails and you keep trying to start the car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the starter motor overheats, it could catch fire in the engine compartment, which could cause an engine fire. This is a serious risk, especially if there's debris or flammable material nearby.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the vehicle's software to prevent this issue, and the repair is free. You should schedule the update as soon as you receive the recall notice.
