BMW of North America, LLC "BMW" is recalling one model year 2017 BMW X3 xDrive 28i vehicle manufactured on June 7, 2016. This vehicle has electronic power steering "EPS", and the contact pins on the EPS control unit may not have been welded properly resulting in increased resistance.
An increase in pin contact resistance can increase the risk of a fire, even while the vehicle is parked and ignition is off.
The vehicle was repaired at the dealership before sale. Therefore, an owner notification notice will not be issued for this campaign. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
