BMW of North America is recalling 4,557 of its 2025 vehicles, including the 330i, 530i, 4 Series, and X3 models, due to an electrical connection issue. The connection between the vehicle's starter-generator and the battery may come loose during use. If this occurs, the engine could stall or the wiring could overheat, potentially leading to a fire. BMW dealers will inspect and replace the starter-generator and the positive battery cable as necessary, free of charge.
