Description of the Problem: I am reporting a severe vehicle fire that occurred with my 2015 BMW X4 (VIN: [XXX}) on [XXX], while I was driving on [XXX] in Orlando, Florida. This was a life-threatening incident. I narrowly escaped death as flames suddenly engulfed the front of the vehicle while I was on the road. For nearly two hours, it felt like a horror show. I am still in shock. After checking my VIN on NHTSA’s recall database, I discovered that my vehicle is part of Recall Number 24V608, which is still "Incomplete" and had no remedy available. The recall clearly describes a fire risk caused by liquid from the PCV system dripping onto the engine coolant pump’s electrical connector, which may lead to a short circuit and possibly a fire. I strongly believe that this is exactly what happened in my case. I am not a technical expert, but based on the description provided by BMW and NHTSA, it appears this recall defect directly caused my vehicle fire. I had no warning, no remedy notice, and no chance to prevent this. This incident has been widely covered by local news and emergency response teams: WFTV News Coverage WESH 2 News Coverage Orlando-News Article Orlando Fire Department's Official Post on Twitter/X This could have been fatal. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the mental trauma, financial burden, and risk to others on the road were immense. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate this case thoroughly and ensure that BMW is held accountable. These kinds of delays in remedies and safety actions are putting lives at risk. If needed, I can provide photos, videos, or any documentation you require.

When driving the BMW X4 the vehicle would break on its own, causing a major safety issue when driving on the road and freeway. this caused me to get off the road immediately with the risk of being hit from the rear. when I took the vehicle to the dealer for repair they said it was the calipers and brake pads that needed replaced. when this repair took place, I took the vehicle home and the next morning the same thing happened within 1 mile of diving the vehicle. The car started braking on its own. I immediately took the vehicle to the dealer, they kept the car and were able to recreate the issue. the issue was the hydraulic system for the brakes ABS system needed to be replaced. this repair took place after the vehicle was at the dealer for 6 weeks. (there were no parts available in the u.s. Or germany and it took 6 weeks to get the part.) today I received my vehicle back and it drove with no braking issues. there were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure in december 2023.

While driving during morning rush hour traffic approximately 0645, the vehicle became sluggish and eventually began shake vigorously. I was in the passing lane with vehicles driving at at speeds up to approximately 65 to 80 mph. The drive train error came on and indicated 'drive moderately.' given that I was 3 miles from entering the monitor merrimack memorial bridge tunnel I had to make the decision to stop in the past lane or coast to the center lane between and on ramp and two lanes of traffic whizzing past. The vehicle would not go any further so I placed it in neutral to get to the safest possible scenario (between the traffic an on ramp).
- Exterior lighting
Left brake lamp malfunction. Car has less than 40,000 miles and in perfect condition.
- Power train · Service brakes
Brakes were unresponsive when trying to slow from 35 mph for stop sign. could only depress brake pedal about a half-inch, car essentially coasted to a stop in the middle of an intersection causing a near miss. car started to shudder violently before coming to a stop. this was the first of 2 serious brake failures for this car.
- Power train · Service brakes
After exiting highway onto offramp, I applied brakes which did not slow car significantly, reapplied brake hard and again car car would not slow adequately. braking power seem to be approx 10% of normal. car began to shake and engine revved as car finally stopped in middle of intersection, near miss vs oncoming traffic.

This IS was on highway, no truffick. One accident happened before me, was no flash lights or stop lights, when I find out what this vehicle not moving, pressed fool brake. In 150 feet of fool brake car didn't stop. I hit the car in front of me, the ABS didn't work during the braking, the air bags didn't pump out. Thanks god, no body didn't get any serious injuries. That's was so scared.

- Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant…
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
