BMW recalls one million luxury cars over fire fears while warning owners to park OUTSIDE until repairs are made.
BMW has recalled more than 1 million cars and SUVs in the US due to the risk of fires under the hood, and it’s recommending that they be parked outdoors until repairs are made.
In the two separate recalls, the German carmaker says the risk of fire is very low in both cases, but the vehicles should say outside ‘in an abundance of caution.’ Repairs are expected to start on December 18.
The first voluntary recall affects certain BMW 3 Series models from 2006 to 2011, the company said in a statement.
The issue is related to potentially faulty wiring of the climate control blower fan which ‘in extremely rare cases’ could cause a fire, it said.
The second recall will address a problem with a heater valve in certain 2007-2011 BMW models equipped with a 6-cylinder engine.
