Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: After repeated attempts, the starter motor may overheat from an electrical overload.
Why it matters: An overheated starter motor can ignite nearby combustible material in the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the engine starter, free of charge. This recall includes vehicles repaired under recall 24V576 and those owners will need to have their vehicle repaired again. Owner notification letters were mailed February 9, 2026.
