The owners of nearly 200,000 BMWs should park their vehicles outside because they risk catching fire while parked or being driven, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced Friday.<\/p>\n

The vehicle models affected include 2019-22 Z4; 2019-21 330I; 2020-22 X3; 2020-22 X4; 2020-22 530I; 2021-22 430I standard and convertible; 2022 230I; and roughly 1,500 20-2022 Toyota Supra vehicles manufactured by BMW, NHTSA said in a news release.<\/a><\/p>\n

The federal agency said the vehicles\u2019 engine starter relay may corrode, \u201ccausing the relay to overheat and short circuit, which may cause a fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOwners should park outside and away from buildings and other vehicles until they either confirm their vehicle is not subject to the recall or have their vehicle remedied,\u201d NHTSA said.<\/p>\n

BMW did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n

NHTSA said the German automaker will be conducting a phased recall due to parts availability. Interim notification letters to owners are scheduled to be mailed on Nov. 14, with a second notice to be sent as remedy parts are available, the agency added.<\/p>\n

Vehicle identification numbers for affected vehicles will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting Nov. 14, the agency said.<\/p>\n

Beginning on that date, car owners can visit NHTSA.gov\/recalls and enter their license plate number or 17-digit VIN to see if their vehicle is under recall. They can also call NHTSA\u2019s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236.<\/p>\n

NHTSA also advised owners of the BMWs to call the company with any questions.<\/p>\n

The German automaker recalled more than 1 million cars<\/a> and SUVs in 2017 over similar issues. The recall was expanded<\/a> to another 185,000 vehicles in 2019.<\/p>\n
