WASHINGTON — BMW of North America is recalling more than 917,000 U.S. vehicles for potential issues with the valve heater that could cause the part to overheat, increasing the risk of a fire while driving or soon after when parked.
The recall supersedes and expands two recalls in 2017 and 2019 by the German automaker that affected more than 740,000 vehicles from the 2007-11 model years and about 184,500 vehicles from the 2006 model year, respectively.
Vehicles previously repaired under those two recalls will need to go back to a dealership when a new remedy has been determined, according to a NHTSA document released Wednesday.
