Overview

• NHTSA says the engine starter relay may corrode, leading to overheating and a short circuit that could cause a fire.
• Affected models include 2019–2021 330i; 2019–2022 Z4; 2020–2022 530i, X3, and X4; 2021–2022 430i and 430i Convertible; the 2022 230i; and Toyota Supra coupes.
• The U.S. tally includes 194,886 BMWs and 1,469 Toyota Supras, totaling 196,355 vehicles.
• Dealers will replace the engine starter at no charge, with owner letters set to begin November 14 and eligibility searchable at NHTSA.gov/recalls by VIN.
• The recall follows a larger BMW fire-risk action just over a year ago tied to electric water-pump issues affecting more than 720,700 vehicles in North America.
