BMW of north America, llc (BMW) is recalling certain 2006-2011 323i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328xi, 330i, 330xi, 335i, 335xi and m3, 2007-2011 328i xdrive, 335i xdrive and 335is and 2009-2011 335d vehicles. The wiring and electrical connectors for the system that controls air flow for the heating and air conditioning system may overheat. Consequence wiring that overheats could cause the electrical connectors to melt, and increase the risk of a fire, even when the vehicle is unattended. I have been smelling burning rubber and at times it looks as if the car is smoking. I was notified of the matter but was out on bed rest due to high risk pregnancy. I did have the car serviced. Please advise!.

My 2011 328i started having problems with the windshield washer motor, then the heater motor cutting in and out, during a severe thunderstorm, put all the windows down (keys hanging on a rack inside my house) shorting out the center console module. Then the car was put away for the winter, the battery would not keep a charge, tried starting in the spring and the ecu electrical board fried out, this was not covered by factory or auto insurance (total cost for repairs $4500. 00) �ultimate driving machine� is a lie! BMW �burned motor wiring�.

I received initial notice of important safety recall from BMW November 2017, #1 no. 17v-676 blower motor wiring, and #2 no. 17v-683 pcv valve heater. The notice said "remedy unavailable" in both cases. It is now April 2018 and when I go onto the NHTSA site I still get that the remedy is not available. I feel this is a case of the BMW center being "unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time," and am therefore informing you of this issue.
Received recall notifications (pcv valve and wiring for heating and air-conditioning) at the end of 2017. Have checked and rechecked with dealership to get the repairs. Finally called BMW USA and was told no parts available until late spring or early summer??!! meanwhile, article in the la times said that repairs would begin in December, 2017 and quoted a BMW official as advising "park your car outside" (in case the thing just ignites by itself while parked?). --and for those of us who cannot do that? why do they say that customer safety is their #1 priority?! it is outrageous.
Blower motor wiring and positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve heater. Car feels hot sometimes I went to the dealer already and was told someone would call me back is been over 2 months already.
When will the wiring recall for my car be completed? I need some sort of updated information, as my car is sitting due to signing a form stating I will not drive until the repairs are done. This is causing other issues such as dead battery, possible tire dry rot etc. . . . Due to sitting for so long I'm the weather without moving. Will any other damages or faults be covered due to this?.
On Nov. 3,2017, BMW announced fire danger due to blower motor wiring and a pcv heater. Neither of these repairs sounds complicated (replace wiring) but five months later, BMW on their website continues to say a "remedy not yet available". This delays suggests that BMW is not prioritizing or taking these dangers seriously. Nhtsa needs to encourage BMW to expedite this recall for the safety and peace of mind of BMW owners.
