Details

Issue: On certain 3-series and M3 vehicles, the positive battery cable connection to the fuse box may fail.

This could cause a loss of electrical power while driving.

As a result the engine could turn off and various electrical systems may not work, including the lights.

Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power and/or loss of vehicle electrical systems could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the positive battery cable connector with an updated version.

Note: This is an expansion of recall 2013-048.
