Consumer Description

Urgent fire risk when parked recall as of September 23, 2025 and received this safeyy recall letter in November 2025 along with 'remedy is unavailable.' Called local BMW dealership today and no remedy and no clue as to when will be available. Urgent fire risk safety recall that is 4 months without a remedy?! Is this acceptable? And no communication or updates available is very frustrating for a vehicle that is used daily for family, children, and work purposes. Please advise.
