2018-19 BMW G20 3-Series: steering track rods may break
In July 2020, recall campaign 00 32 1403 00 was issued for BMW G20 3-Series vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 27 September 2018 to 1 August 2019. Exposure to high temperatures and vibrational loads could cause the steering track rods in these vehicles to be damaged. If the steering track rods were damaged or broken, steering ability would be impaired such that the vehicle may not steer as expected – this increased the risk of a collision and, in turn, the risk of injury and death. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18396.
2020 BMW G20 3-Series: battery fire hazard
In January 2021, recall campaigns 0061650500 and 0061670500 were issued for BMW G20 3-Series vehicles that were available for sale in Australia from 29 January 2020 to 18 September 2020. In these vehicles, foreign bodies or particles may have entered the battery cells and could cause a short circuit in a fully charged high-voltage battery. A short circuit could cause a fire, increasing the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18591.
