Then you read the story and these vehicles are 7 - 10 years old and only now showing a problem? This is probably more of a precautionary measure by BMW than an issue.

If your 7 year old car caught fire sitting in your garage and caused your house to burn down perhaps you would be less forgiving.
That’s exactly a scenario that could happen, and BMW wants none of that on their hands. These aren’t electrical gremlins, as in your AC only works if you jiggle the knob, this is serious and potentially life threatening.
It’s very good that BMW decided to own this issue and get it done right. |
The emphasis is on if. Which is why I will reiterate what I said. I believe this is more of a precaution. It's been 10 years for some of these cars with no issues. If it happens in its 30th year of existence it's an issue for BMW which is why I believe they recalled it. Don't misconstrue what I said.
