NHTSA recall 19V579000
Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The wiring and electrical connectors in the blower-regulator wiring harness may overheat.
Why it matters: Wiring that overheats could cause the electrical connectors to melt, and increase the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is unattended.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the blower-regulator wiring harness, and replace it with a new part, free of charge. The recall began October 4, 2019.
