NHTSA Confirms Recall of 196,000 BMW and Toyota Supra Vehicles Over Fire Risk

Owners are urged to park outside until free relay replacements begin after November 14 under NHTSA oversight.

El nuevo emblema debutará en el iX3 y se implementará gradualmente en los modelos nuevos o renovados de toda la gama, sin importar el tipo de motor. Este paso refuerza el compromiso de BMW por redefinir su identidad de marca en la era eléctrica, siguiendo la tendencia de sutiles rediseños históricos de marcas como Porsche y Volkswagen.

Overview

  • Regulators say a corrosion-prone starter-motor relay can overheat and short, creating a fire risk that may occur even when vehicles are parked.
  • BMW reports a coordinated global campaign covering roughly 330,000 vehicles, including about 136,500 in Germany and 196,355 in the United States.
  • Models listed by NHTSA include BMW 330i (2019–2021), Z4 (2019–2022), X3 and X4 (2020–2022), 530i (2020–2022), 430i and Convertible (2021–2022), 230i (2022), and Toyota Supra (2020–2022).
  • Owner notifications are scheduled to start November 14, with guidance to avoid enclosed parking until repairs are completed.
  • Owners can check VINs at NHTSA.gov/recalls, and dealers will replace the starter relay at no cost, with BMW planning a staged rollout and provisional letters followed by a second notice as parts become available.
