If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the connection could overheat. rn rnSafety Risk:rnA loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Wiring that overheats could increase the risk of a fire. rn rnCorrective Actions:rnBMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership. For certain vehicles, the dealer will replace the starter-generator and positive battery cable.
