NHTSA recall 25V202000
Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The electrical connection between the starter-generator and battery may come loose.
Why it matters: A loose starter-generator connection can result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, the wiring may overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the starter-generator and positive battery cable as necessary, free of charge. Interim owner letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed May 28, 2025. Second letters will be sent once the remedy is available.
