Overview

• The U.S. action covers 194,886 BMWs from model years 2019–2022 with the B58 engine plus 1,469 Toyota Supra coupes from 2020–2022.
• Owners are urged to park vehicles outside and away from structures until repairs are completed.
• BMW’s investigation found water can enter the starter motor and corrode the relay, which may overheat and short, leading to a potential fire.
• Dealers will replace affected starter units at no cost, with owner notifications scheduled to begin in mid-November.
• The recall extends beyond the U.S., including nearly 136,500 vehicles in Germany, with a broader global total still being finalized.
