The 2022 BMW Z4 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a corroded engine starter relay that can overheat, short circuit, and start a fire.
The starter relay fire risk appears across two separate recall filings, but both point to the same underlying problem: the relay corrodes, overheats, and can ignite. The third recall involves a software issue where the windows and sunroof can close on their own without the key present, which can trap or injure someone inside the vehicle.
