In September 2025, BMW issued a recall # 25V644 for a safety related potential fire issue on the starter for my 2022 840i Gran Coupe. It has now been 4 months, and BMW is still telling me they do not have the assigned parts to resolve this issue. Furthermore, NHTSA has somehow dropped this recall off the records for the VIN of my car, which is troubling. My compliant is BMW is not timely in their efforts to correct a safety fire issue for my vehicle.
Customer filing a complaint against BMW for untimely resolution of Recall #25V644. This recall is a known Safety Risk which began in the summer of 2025. It is now December 4, 2025, and discussions today with BMW North America, they cannot provide me an ETA of when parts will be available for my vehicle. Further info from BMW North America says they will mail me a letter sometime? in 2026 to tell me when parts are available but if I have electrical heating/smoke issues before that to take the car to the BMW Dealer. BMW appears to be pretty nonchalant about this recall and can't provide timing to resolve the serious nature of a fire being the result of this recall's safety risk. Very disapp
