Consumer Description

ON NOV. 3,2017, BMW ANNOUNCED FIRE DANGER DUE TO BLOWER MOTOR WIRING AND A PCV HEATER. NEITHER OF THESE REPAIRS SOUNDS COMPLICATED (REPLACE WIRING) BUT FIVE MONTHS LATER, BMW ON THEIR WEBSITE CONTINUES TO SAY A "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". THIS DELAYS SUGGESTS THAT BMW IS NOT PRIORITIZING OR TAKING THESE DANGERS SERIOUSLY. NHTSA NEEDS TO ENCOURAGE BMW TO EXPEDITE THIS RECALL FOR THE SAFETY AND PEACE OF MIND OF BMW OWNERS.
