Issue
On certain vehicles, the engine starter may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the starter could overheat.
Safety risk
A starter that overheats can create the risk of a fire.
Corrective actions
To reduce the safety risk, BMW recommends not using the remote start function and not leaving the vehicle unattended with the engine running until the recall repairs have been completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the engine starter.
