ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
An overheated starter motor can ignite nearby combustible material in the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
10 safety recall campaigns, 12 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.

A starter motor that overheats can ignite nearby combustible material in the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
A sunroof that closes without the key fob present inside the vehicle can increase the risk of injury.
If the driver relies on only the rearview camera image, the missing or reduced rearview image view can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
A loss of ABS and a reduction in braking assistance can increase the risk of a crash.
If the weld between the front axle support and the right front control arm bearing bracket separates, vehicle handling and control may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2020 BMW X6s 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.
