Recently, BMW has taken an important step for its customers in the US, ensuring the safety of car owners more than ever. The company has decided to recall 105,558 vehicles and has also announced the release of a new software update. The update aims to address concerns related to overheating of the starter motor.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects various models, including the 2019-2020 X5, X7, 2020 3 Series Sedan and X6, 2020-2021 7 Series Sedan, 2020 8 Series Convertible, 8 Series Coupe, and 2020 8 Series Gran Coupe. The problem is primarily related to the starter motor.
If the engine starter has mechanical damage and the driver repeatedly tries to start the engine, the starter may get an electrical overload. In extreme cases, if the engine is contaminated with any kind of acoustic protection material, it may cause a thermal event, which may threaten the vehicle's safety.
According to BMW and NHTSA, under this safety recall, vehicle owners will get a software update to help control the starter motor's overload. This update will be done free of cost at the dealerships. According to the company's plan, a notification letter on this issue will be sent to car owners by the end of September, along with instructions for the software update.
Safety should always be a priority, and BMW is proving it this time. This recall and software update is a big step towards the safety and customer satisfaction of the company. If you have any of these models, make sure you contact your nearest BMW dealer and get the software updated. The safety of you and your family is of utmost importance to us, and BMW is taking this issue seriously.
It's always a good idea to stay up to date on car maintenance and safety. Be sure to keep an eye on your vehicle manufacturer's notifications for any future recalls.
