Recalls

Issue: On certain Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), weld beads may not have been removed from the high voltage battery during assembly.

As a result, during the initial charge to full capacity, the weld beads could cause a short circuit between the battery cells.

Safety Risk: A short circuit could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the high voltage battery.

The battery modules will be replaced, if necessary.

Note: Only one of the affected vehicles was sold to a retail customer.

Dealers will inspect and repair all other vehicles before they are sold.
