JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has announced that BMW is recalling over 145,000 vehicles due to the potential failure and overheating of the starter motor, which could heighten the risk of fire.

According to the NHTSA, dealers will provide engine starter replacements at no cost. Notification letters are anticipated to be dispatched by Nov. 17, 2025. Owners can also reach out to BMW customer service for assistance. Vehicle Identification Numbers included in the recall will be available for search on NHTSA.gov starting Nov. 17.
