BMW affected vehicles may have battery positive (B+) cables that develop high resistance in the connections to the fuse box.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the 12v/24v/48v battery cables. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles may have battery positive (B+) cables that develop high resistance in the connections to the fuse box.
The high resistance may result in loss of the cable's electrical connection, possibly causing an engine stall and preventing the vehicle from restarting, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the B+ cable connector with one that is silver coated and better secure it to the fuse box, free of charge.
