Transport Canada recalls

Electrical#2026332July 8, 2026
766 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, water could leak into the starter relay and cause it to corrode. If this happens, the relay could short circuit and the starter could overheat. Note: This recall only affects plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models. Safety Risk: A short circuit and/or a starter that overheats can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, BMW advises that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed. BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the engine starter.

587,250 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
Engine#2017306June 15, 2017
32 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a V12 engine, an incorrect engine cooler line may have been installed, and could cause an oil leak during engine operation. If the oil cooler line leaks, oil could contact a front brake disc, or the road surface, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the engine oil cooler line.
