1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2018

October 25, 2017 | recall campaign no. 17v-676 blower motor wiring to date there is still no remedy for this recall issued 5 months ago. I'm not sure what constitutes a 'reasonable period of time' for a recall like this but it seems like it has been a while, especially for a recall that could potentially cause a fire. .

2 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2018

My 2011 BMW 335d sedan has a recall on the blower motor wiring harness that could catch fire anytime, even when the car is parked and off. I have been unable to drive my car for over 2 months at this point, (while still making my high car payment) and parts are still not available, and no idea when they will be. Do I have any recourse for my loss? BMW north America says no, they are providing an enterprise rental car which is all they can do.

3 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2017

Blower motor wiring: this recall involves the wiring for the system, known as the blower-motor, that controls air flow for the heating and air conditioning system. Over time, the connection between the wiring and this system could deteriorate and, in rare cases, could lead to overheating. The blower system also leaks some type of oil which my mechanic indicated could also lead to a fire with the blowing motor wiring short circuiting. A few months back the heating/air conditioning system suddenly stopped functioning, it sent a strong smell of plastic and rubber burning throughout the vehicle interior. Also I have not received any letter regarding the recent recall from BMW, which my vehicle is also listed under that recall. Haven't I done any research on this I would still be driving my car around putting my life and family's lives at risk.
