The TurboCord Portable Charger in your vehicle has a critical component called capacitors that help regulate the flow of electricity. In some cases, these capacitors can fail in 2018-2019 BMW models.
Risk if Unfixed
If the capacitors fail, you could get an electrical shock or a fire, which can increase the risk of serious injury or even death.

Your BMW dealer will inspect the charging cable and replace it if it's faulty – at no cost to you. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you get the recall notice.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's backup camera system helps you see what's behind your car when you're in reverse. In certain BMW models, the camera settings can be adjusted to hide the rear view, but this setting might not reset properly when you turn off your car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear view image is missing when you're backing up, you could fail to see obstacles or pedestrians behind your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the backup camera software, ensuring it always displays a clear rear view image. This repair is free of charge, and you'll be notified when it's time to schedule the update.
