BMW recalls over 16,000 vehicles in Australia due to fire risk

BMW, one of the leading luxury car manufacturers, has recently issued a warning to owners of over 16,000 vehicles to avoid using the remote start function or leaving their vehicle running and unattended. This precautionary measure comes after reports of potential safety concerns with the remote start feature.

The affected vehicles include certain models of the BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series, and X5 produced between 2013 and 2015. The company has stated that the issue lies with the remote start feature, which could potentially cause the vehicle to catch fire due to a faulty connection in the heating and air conditioning system.

As a responsible and customer-oriented company, BMW is taking swift action to address this issue and ensure the safety of its customers. The company has already notified the owners of the affected vehicles and is working closely with dealers to resolve the issue. BMW has also advised owners to refrain from using the remote start function and to avoid leaving their vehicle running and unattended until the necessary repairs have been carried out.

The safety of our customers is our top priority, and we are committed to providing the highest quality and safest vehicles. We understand that this may cause inconvenience to our valued customers, but we assure you that we are working diligently to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Our dealers are equipped with the necessary parts and expertise to carry out the repairs efficiently and effectively.

In the meantime, BMW has also provided alternative solutions for owners who rely on the remote start function for their daily routine. The company has suggested using the auxiliary heating function, which can be activated through the iDrive system, to warm up the vehicle before starting your journey. This feature is not affected by the current issue and can be used safely.

We would like to assure our customers that this is an isolated incident and does not reflect the high standards of safety and quality that we uphold at BMW. We have always been at the forefront of innovation and technology, and we will continue to prioritize the safety and satisfaction of our customers.

We urge all owners of the affected vehicles to contact their nearest BMW dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment for the necessary repairs. Our dealers are working extended hours to accommodate the influx of appointments and ensure that the issue is resolved promptly.

At BMW, we value our customers and their trust in our brand. We are committed to providing the best driving experience and ensuring the safety of our customers at all times. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

In conclusion, we would like to reiterate that the safety of our customers is of utmost importance to us, and we are taking all necessary measures to address this issue. We assure you that our vehicles are safe to drive, and we are confident that our dealers will carry out the repairs with the highest level of expertise and efficiency. We appreciate the continued support and loyalty of our customers and look forward to providing you with the ultimate driving experience that BMW is known for.
