What Happened
The third brake light on your M6 Gran Coupe is a vital safety feature that warns drivers behind you when you're slowing down or stopping. Over time, the light's attachment may become loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the third brake light comes loose and falls off, it could stop working, or it might become a hazard on the road. Either way, this could lead to a crash because other drivers won't see when you're slowing down.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect and secure the third brake light with new fasteners, and if it's damaged, they'll replace it for free. The repair is on the house, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
