Today’s recall alert concerns several BMW models — and one Toyota that shares a lot of its bones with a BMW.
BMW of North America is recalling 87,394 vehicles across several model lines, including the 2021–2023 Toyota Supra, 2 Series Coupe, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series xDrive, X3, X4, and Z4. The recall stems from a potential issue with the engine starter, where wear on an internal component can cause it to overheat and potentially catch fire.
Dealers will replace the engine starter at no cost to owners. Notification letters are expected to be mailed on March 24, 2026, and affected VINs will be searchable on NHTSA.gov starting the same day. Owners can contact BMW or Toyota customer service for additional information.
