BMW recalls various vehicles with electrical issue

BMW of North America is recalling 16,641 model year 2009 328i & 328xi vehicles, model year 2009-2011 335d vehicles, model year 2008-2012 M3 Coupes & M3 Convertibles, and model year 2008-2011 M3 Sedans.

This is an expansion of an earlier recall.

The connection of the positive battery cable at the fuse box terminal may degrade, resulting in an intermittent loss of electrical power.

This can cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace and secure the positive battery cable connector free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin August 12, 2019.

Owners may contact BMW customer service at (800) 525-7417.
