EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The front side marker lights on your vehicle are designed to make your car more visible to other drivers at night. However, in certain models and years, a software glitch could cause these lights to turn off when your parking lights or headlights are on.
Risk if Unfixed
If the side marker lights are off, your car might be harder to see, which could lead to a crash, especially at night or in low-light conditions.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the software on your vehicle to fix the issue, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice.
