ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
Fire increases the risk of injury.
5 safety recall campaigns, 6 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Fire increases the risk of injury.
A short circuit in the starter relay may increase the risk of a fire.
An audible chime that does not properly alert the driver to fasten their seat belt increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Doors that do not lock as intended while the vehicle is in motion may open during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
A sunroof that closes without the key fob present inside the vehicle can increase the risk of injury.
Two 2022 BMW 430Is can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
