Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0L engine.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit could increase the risk of a fire. A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the nuts. The dealer will replace the 48 V battery cable and/or the starter-generator, as necessary.
