BMW Recalls Over 720,000 Vehicles in US Due to Fire Risk
BMW is initiating a massive recall of approximately 721,000 vehicles in the United States following reports of a potential fire hazard. The issue stems from a water pump electrical connector that may short circuit, posing a significant safety risk to owners. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued specific guidance advising owners of affected 2012–2018 BMW models—including sedans, coupes, SUVs, and wagons—to park their vehicles outdoors and away from structures until repairs are completed. While ten short-circuit incidents have been documented, no injuries or property damage have been reported to date.
