Issue

Issue:
On a small number of vehicles, an extra bolt may have been installed in the starter motor. The bolt was not properly attached and could fall into the transmission housing. If this happens, you may hear an unusual noise from the transmission and the engine could stall suddenly.

Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
None of the affected vehicles have been sold to retail customers. BMW will instruct dealers to inspect the vehicles. If an additional bolt is found, it will be removed. BMW will replace any parts that are damaged by this problem before the vehicles are sold.
