BMW Recalls More Than 196,000 Vehicles in the U.S. Over Engine Starter Issues
New BMW models have been deemed unsafe. The company is recalling hundreds of thousands of cars due to a fire risk. BMW dealers will replace the engine starter free of charge.
BMW is recalling more than 196,000 vehicles in the United States because of potential corrosion in the engine starter relay. The defect can cause overheating and short circuits, raising the risk of fire.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall on September 26. According to the agency, the issue affects several models, including the 2022 Toyota Supra and BMW 230i.
BMW dealers will replace the engine starter at no cost, NHTSA said in its notice.
Earlier, South Korean automaker Hyundai launched a large-scale recall of 568,580 Palisade SUVs sold in the U.S. between 2020 and 2025. The problem involves seat belt buckles that may not securely fasten the belts. This could increase the risk of injury in a crash, as the seat belt may fail to properly restrain passengers.
