Alpina b3 d3

Official notice

26 Mar 2021

An official EU Safety Gate notice concerns Alpina b3 d3. A contact defect can develop over time due to friction corrosion on the plug connection between the cable harness and the fan controller. The insulation of the cable harness can therefore become damaged over time, which could trigger a short circuit. This could result in a vehicle fire, even if the car is parked. Published 2021-03-26.

What to do now

The source does not provide specific consumer instructions. Follow the official EU Safety Gate notice for next steps.
