The camera/sensor in your vehicle is part of the driver monitoring system, which helps prevent accidents by ensuring you're keeping your hands on the steering wheel. In some 2023-2024 BMW models, the connection to this system wasn't properly attached.
Risk if Unfixed
If the system fails, it might not detect when you've taken your hands off the wheel, so the emergency stopping assistant won't engage. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealership will inspect and reattach the ground connection to the camera/sensor system, which will keep you safe on the road. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive your recall notice.
