My BMW account shows the status as Remedy Not Available. NHTSA's VIN lookup confirms the recall is incomplete with no remedy available.  I am filing because there is no remedy for me to obtain. BMW has not released parts or a repair procedure. Owner letters were not scheduled to mail until 08/28/2026. I emailed my BMW service center requesting a parts availability estimate and received no response.  I have not had a starter failure or thermal event. The safety concern is that I must keep driving and parking a vehicle with an acknowledged fire risk, indefinitely, with no repair available and no timeline for one. I also cannot get confirmation from BMW whether any park outside or do not drive advisory applies to my vehicle. Coverage of this campaign has been inconsistent, with some outlets describing a plug-in hybrid population affected by corrosion that carried park outside guidance. My vehicle is not a plug-in hybrid.  I am concerned about the scale and repetition of this defect. This is the third BMW starter campaign in roughly twelve months, following an autumn 2025 action and a February 2026 campaign, with the affected population expanding each time. Recall 26V438 alone covers 318,495 US vehicles. Given that volume I expect parts to be rationed and my repair delayed well beyond a reasonable time.  Separately, BMW Financial Services has declined to process a lease payoff quote, citing the open recall. The effect is that BMW is restricting my contractual rights over a defect only BMW can cure and cannot currently cure.  The vehicle is available for inspection on request. No warning lamps or symptoms to date.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2025","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"X4","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
