File date	31/08/18
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Junction box failure. I started having all types of random electrical problems. Wipers come on at random. Door locks, back windows, and turn signals won't work when this happens. I read that this issue was happening in other models, but don't see that the bmw x3 itself wasn't called out. Had the issue looked at by a mechanic and he said the stored codes were for main junction box failure or no message received from main junction box. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is stationary or in motion, issue still happens. Sometime when i turn off the car, the wipers are still going. Sometimes if i just open the door, without turning on the car, the wipers will start to go.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
