Overview

• The U.S. campaign covers specific 2019–2022 BMW models (230i, 330i, 430i and Convertible, 530i, X3, X4, Z4) plus about 1,469 model‑year 2020–2022 Toyota Supras built by BMW.
• Owners are urged to park outside and away from structures because fires could occur whether the vehicle is parked or in motion; no injuries have been reported.
• Dealers will replace the engine starter free of charge, but parts constraints mean a phased rollout with interim letters and VIN lookup going live Nov. 14 and a second notice when parts are available.
• BMW and filings cite water ingress causing corrosion in a Valeo‑made starter relay as the root mechanism, and Germany expects about 136,500 vehicles to be repaired as part of a wider global effort.
• NHTSA documents estimate about 0.1% of the recalled population may be affected, and owners who previously paid for related repairs may be eligible for reimbursement.
