NHTSA recall 20V761000
Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The connection between the 48-volt battery and the starter-generator may not have been assembled properly, which can cause increased electrical resistance at the connections.
Why it matters: Increased electrical resistance can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the connection between the 48-volt battery and the starter-generator assembly, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 12, 2021.
