Buying a used 2021 BMW Z4? Check these 5 recalls first
The 2021 BMW Z4 has 5 recalls in this group, covering a possible fuel tank leak, two starter-related fire risks, a passenger seat belt retractor fault, and loss of brake assist. The starter relay recall includes a park-outside instruction, making its completion status particularly relevant. The supplied NHTSA record contains 1 unverified owner complaint, categorized as unknown or other, with 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries reported. That category provides little detail about the reported problem.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Verify completion of both starter recalls and the park-outside instruction's status.
- Request fuel tank leak recall repair documentation.
- Confirm passenger belt retractor and brake-assist recall completion.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any BMW dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
