    BMW Recall - Starter Motor

    Got this recall notice for my 2022 BMW G42 220d Coupe. One of my coworkers got the same for his 2021 G20 318i and a friend of mine got it for his 2023 G22 420i. Booked mine in for next week. Car has not had any issues but I would rather be safe than sorry. Anyone else get it?
