Component
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS:DRIVER MONITORING:CAMERA/SENSOR
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The camera/sensor system in your vehicle monitors your hands on the steering wheel to ensure your safety. In some 2023-2024 models, the connection to this system wasn't properly attached.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hands-on detection system isn't working, your vehicle may not engage the emergency stopping assistant when you're not holding the wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check and secure the ground connection to the steering wheel system, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
