BMW and MINI plug-in hybrid batteries may catch fire critical

Reported 2020-09-30 · Campaign 20V601000 · Model years: 2020

Debris may have gotten inside the hybrid battery cells of these BMW and MINI plug-in hybrids while they were being built. That debris can cause a short circuit in the battery, which can start a fire. BMW will inspect the battery and replace the battery module if needed, at no cost, but the full fix was still being developed. Until your vehicle is repaired, BMW says do not charge it and do not use sport mode, manual mode, or the shift paddles.
