(Reuters) -BMW is recalling over 145,000 vehicles in the U.S. as an overheated starter could increase the risk of a fire, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The issue affects vehicles across 2020 340I, X7, and X5 models, the auto safety regulator said.
BMW dealers will replace the engine starter, free of charge, NHTSA said in the notice.
Earlier this week, NHTSA said that BMW would recall over 196,000 vehicles in the U.S. over an engine starter issue that could lead to overheating and short circuit.
