ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY:RELAY
A short circuit in the starter relay may increase the risk of a fire.
6 safety recall campaigns, 7 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 short circuit in the starter relay may increase the risk of a fire.
Loss of braking assist can increase the risk of a crash.
Should the headlamps be adjusted horizontally, there could be increased glare and reduced visibility for oncoming drivers, or reduced visibility for the vehicle operator, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
A damaged or fractured tie rod may affect vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
If the counterbalance shaft loosens, severe engine damage could occur, increasing the risk of a crash.
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Two 2019 BMW Z4s 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.
