recall alert 2021 2024 bmw models plus one toyota

Today's recall alert concerns several BMW models -- and one Toyota that shares a lot of its bones with a BMW.

BMW of North America is recalling 87,394 vehicles across several model lines, including the 2021–2023 Toyota Supra, 2 Series Coupe, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series xDrive, X3, X4, and Z4. The recall stems from a potential issue with the engine starter, where wear on an internal component can cause it to overheat and potentially catch fire.

Dealers will replace the engine starter at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed on March 24, 2026, and affected VINs will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting the same day. Owners can contact BMW or Toyota customer service for additional information.

At least it's only a starter and not something catastrophic like an engine or transmission problem.

  Fire can be a pretty serious issue, depending on where you park and who you know.

Starter overheating... maybe if we could permanently turn OFF the annoying Auto-stop crap, which in rush hour stop and go traffic I could imaging easily overheating it

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

I only fly out of PDX or EUG to LAS or OAK and OGG then back .. have never been delayed in the last ?30-ish? trips to vegas/disneyland/maui/cruise ship vacations....

Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
