One problem related to carrier/rack has been reported for the 2005 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
As my car sat in my driveway (with no key in the ignition), it burst into flames, spreading to nearby trees and bushes, and cracking several windows in my house. The fire department put it out before it could burn the house down and I managed to escape the home without injury.
