BMW recall on X4, X3, Z4, 3 SERIES, 4 SERIES and 2 more models

On certain vehicles, the engine starter may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the starter could overheat.

A starter that overheats can create the risk of a fire.

To reduce the safety risk, BMW recommends not using the remote start function and not leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running until the recall repairs have been completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the engine starter.
