ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The body control module is like the brain of your car, controlling many functions, including your doors. In some 2022-2023 BMW models, the software in this module might have been programmed incorrectly during a service visit.
Risk if Unfixed
If your doors don't lock as they should while you're driving, they could open during a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the software in your body control module for free. You'll need to schedule the repair after you get the recall notice in the mail – it's on the house.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
In your 2023 330e or 330e xDrive, the rearview camera system is a software that helps you see what's behind your vehicle when you back up. However, the software in some of these vehicles can cause a part of the image to be blocked.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview image is partially blocked, you might not see important things behind your vehicle, like people or obstacles, which could increase the risk of a crash when you're backing up.
Free Fix
Your authorized BMW dealer will update the rearview camera software to fix this issue for free. You should schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice, and you can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions.
