[11] 2006 Bmw 325i Price Becomes Monthly Issue

The risk of fire is “extremely rare,” Hector Arellano-Belloc, a BMW spokesman, said in an email.

The company said it was asking car owners “in an abundance of caution” to keep their affected vehicles parked outdoors until they are repaired, he said. He said the company knew of three injuries that may be related to the climate control system wiring, but no injuries related to the P.C.V. heater.

An ABC News investigation that aired in May found more than 40 instances in the last five years where parked BMWs — some had been turned off for days — spontaneously burst into flames. ABC News reported Friday that 12 of those vehicles were subject to one or both of the recalls.

BMW announced that dealers will replace the recalled components without charge. Owners are expected to be notified on Dec. 18.

There have been multiple reports of heat-related damage in different BMW models, the first occurring in 2007, the N.H.T.S.A. said, which led to the company’s recalls.
