The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the recall of more than 145,100 BMWs because the starter motor could fail and overheat from an electrical overload if someone tries to start the car repeatedly.
The NHTSA said the recall affects the following vehicles:
2020
- 340I
- X6
2020-20205
- 840I
2020-2022
- 740I
2019-2020
- X7
- X5
The NHTSA said that dealers will replace the starter for free.
Owners will receive letters about the recall after Nov. 17, but can contact the company at 800-525-7417.
The recalled cars that were fixed under the previous recall 25V576 are also included in the new recall, the NHTSA said.
