BMW is recalling 720,796 cars in the US because of a fire risk tied to an electrical issue with the water pump.
A poorly sealed connector can let water in, which might cause a short circuit and even start a fire, even when the car's parked and turned off.
BMW owners urged to park outdoors
The recall covers several models from 2012-2018, like the 3 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3, X4, X5 xDrive40e, Z4, and some versions of the 2 Series and Gran Turismo.
These cars were already recalled in 2024 for something similar, but new incidents showed more fixes are needed.
BMW is working on a solution; until then, owners are being told to park outside and away from buildings just to be safe.
