When trying to start the vehicle it will say that the starter has overheated and to try restarting again in xx seconds. This occurs randomly and the car does not indicate that the engine is over heating, just the starter. When looking online it appears there is an active recall for this very issue but my VIN is not registered with the recall. BMW believes that my car should be covered under this warranty and advised filing a report with the NHTSA to have it extended to my car. The vehicle is a 2019 and was produced in March of 2019.
Engine starter of my BMW X7 failed and required replacement. BMW has issued a safety recall "campaign number 24V-576: Engine Starter" related to this issue. Engine starter on my vehicle failed before I had a chance to get software upgrade as suggested by BMW.
Vehicle starter failed to crank the engine. You can smell electric type smoke coming from the under carriage. Vehicle stopped at a light and could not move. Nearly caused a crash or worse a fire. No warning lights or indicators. Just won-??t start and smoke.
