What Happened
The left rear taillight on your vehicle is an important safety feature that helps other drivers see you. In some 2013-2015 7-series BMW models, the replacement taillight may not be installed correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the taillight is not visible to other drivers, you may be less noticeable, especially at night or in low-light conditions, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect the taillight and replace it with a correct one, at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as after confirming availability with your dealer as possible to ensure your safety on the road. This timing describes the original 2017 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.
