The transmission wiring harness can become damaged, resulting in an electrical short circuit.
An electrical short circuit can cause the transmission to shift into neutral resulting in a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.
What to do
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace any damaged transmission harnesses. All harnesses will be rerouted and secured. These repairs will be performed free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin February 3, 2020.
Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
