BMW is recalling over 100,000 crossovers and sedans due to increased risk of fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
BMW and NHTSA issued the recall earlier this month for certain 2019-2020 X5, X7, 2020 3 Series Sedan, X6, 2020-2021 7 Series Sedan, 2020 8 Series Convertible, 8 Series Coupe, and 2020 8 Series Gran Coupe vehicles.
According to the notice, issues with the starter motor can prevent the car from starting, cause electrical overload and lead to overheating which may catch other engine components on fire.

Starter motor overheating
The recall, reported to NHTSA on Aug. 1, impacts 14 different makes and models. Around 105,588 vehicles are potentially affected by an issue with the starter motor that could cause overheating.
