Details
What's wrong: The capacitors within the body domain controller (bdc) may short circuit and overheat.
Why it matters: If the bdc short circuits, other nearby components may also overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: All affected vehicles remain on dealer lots, therefore owner letters will not be mailed. Bmw dealers will replace the bdc control unit, free of charge. The recall began on October 17, 2018.
