Buying a used 2019 BMW Z4? Check these 6 recalls first

6 NHTSA recalls · 5 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2019 BMW Z4 has 6 recalls in this group. The starter-relay fire campaign carries a park-outside instruction, making VIN-specific recall status particularly important. Other campaigns address a loosening engine counterbalance shaft, steering tie-rod fracture, disappearing backup-camera images, headlight alignment, and loss of brake assist. NHTSA lists 5 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 2 involving the engine and 1 each electrical systems, steering, and airbags. Reported outcomes include 1 crash, 0 fires, and 0 injuries.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify starter-relay recall status and applicable park-outside instructions.
3. Request counterbalance-shaft and steering tie-rod recall repair records.
4. Confirm brake-assist, backup-camera, and headlight-alignment recall completion.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
