An overheated starter motor can ignite nearby combustible material in the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
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.
An overheated starter motor can ignite nearby combustible material in the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
A loss of ABS and a reduction in braking assistance can increase the risk of a crash.
A broken output shaft can lead to a loss of drive power or a rollaway condition in a parked vehicle (if the parking brake is not engaged), increasing the risk of a crash.
Increased electrical resistance can increase the risk of a fire.
A child restraint system placed on the vehicle's rear middle seat without utilizing the three-point safety belt, could increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Two 2021 BMW 740LIs 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.
