BMW X6 (2018 – 2020)

The software-based overload protection function cannot sufficiently prevent the starter being overloaded in the event of repeated long start-up attempts. The starter may overheat or sparks may be produced as a result of an increased current flow. This increases the risk of a fire.

The BMW X6 vehicles affected by this recall were manufactured between 1 August 2018 – 31 May 2020.
