Consumer Description

BMW OF NORTH AMERICA, LLC (BMW) IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2006-2011 323I, 325I, 325XI, 328I, 328XI, 330I, 330XI, 335I, 335XI AND M3, 2007-2011 328I XDRIVE, 335I XDRIVE AND 335IS AND 2009-2011 335D VEHICLES. THE WIRING AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS FOR THE SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS AIR FLOW FOR THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT. CONSEQUENCE WIRING THAT OVERHEATS COULD CAUSE THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS TO MELT, AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNATTENDED. I HAVE BEEN SMELLING BURNING RUBBER AND AT TIMES IT LOOKS AS IF THE CAR IS SMOKING. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MATTER BUT WAS OUT ON BED REST DUE TO HIGH RISK PREGNANCY. I DID HAVE THE CAR SERVICED. PLEASE ADVISE!
