The starter was not replaced during a service visit. The vehicle no longer exists due to the fire, but the VIN and service records are available for inspection. \u2022Safety risk: The starter malfunction caused the vehicle to catch fire while parked, creating a serious safety risk to myself, my child, and others nearby. \u2022Problem reproduction/confirmation: The fire and defect were confirmed by BMW\u2019s inspection as originating from the starter irregularity tied to the recall. \u2022Inspections: The vehicle was inspected by BMW North America\u2019s engineering team after the fire, and insurance representatives confirmed the total loss. \u2022Warning signs prior to failure: There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms indicating the starter defect before the fire.  Additional context: The vehicle was serviced at an authorized BMW dealership on December 3, 2025. I was not informed of the recall, and the starter was not replaced. The vehicle caught fire on December 19, 2025, resulting in a total loss. While my insurance resolved the ACV, this incident was caused by BMW\u2019s recall-related defect and procedural failure. I have escalated this matter to BMW North America and am requesting a resolution that restores me to a comparable position (replacement vehicle or financial support).  Official confirmation: BMW North America confirmed in a confidential letter that the fire originated from the starter defect tied to the open recall. This letter is available for review upon request.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"330I","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
