Description of the problem	My 2008 bmw 335xi with 42000 miles was stored in my heated shop. The car started on fire and destroyed the contents of my shop and the car.

Clearly the fire started under the glove compartment area and continued to burn until the front of the car, windshield and interior was destroyed.

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.
