The electrical connection between the starter-generator and the battery in your vehicle may come loose. If this happens while you're driving, your engine could stall. The wiring involved in this connection may also overheat. Dealers will inspect the starter-generator and battery cable and replace them if necessary, free of charge. BMW has already mailed an interim letter about this, and a second letter will follow once the full repair is ready.
