WASHINGTON
German automaker BMW is recalling over 29,000 vehicles across the United States due to a serious fire hazard. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a faulty engine starter relay can corrode over time, potentially causing overheating and dangerous short circuits. The recall specifically impacts several luxury models, including the 530e xDrive and various iPerformance vehicles. To ensure driver safety, BMW dealerships will replace the engine starter units for all affected customers completely free of charge. Owners are urged to contact their local dealers promptly to resolve this critical safety issue and prevent accidents.
