Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The wiring going to the blower motor on my 2010 Bmw 135I is melted. I could smell something burning and the blower motor started working intermittently. The vehicle was running in my driveway with the heat on at the time. The problem is the same as recall 17v-676 which covers the Bmw 3 series from the same year but not the 1 series which uses the same parts.”
