The weld between the fuel tank halves may have been insufficiently welded, causing the weld to fail.
The failed weld may allow fuel to leak, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
What to do
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tank free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin January 4, 2021.
Owners may contact BMW customer service at (800) 525-7417 or Toyota customer service at (888) 270-9371.
