In addition to the model-year 2020-22 Supra, affected BMWs include the following models and model years:
- 2019-21 330i sedan
- 2019-22 Z4 roadster
- 2020-22 530i sedan, X3 and X4 SUVs

The engine starter relay in these vehicles may corrode, causing it to overheat and short-circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
Dealers will replace the engine starter for free, but until the remedy is performed, owners are advised to park outside and away from structures. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed Nov. 14; a second letter will be sent out once repair parts become available. Those with further questions can contact BMW at 800-525-7417, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
