What Happened
The sunroof control unit in your vehicle is a computer that helps manage your sunroof. In some models, it might be set up incorrectly, allowing the sunroof to close unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sunroof closes without your key fob inside, it could hit you or a passenger, causing injury. This is especially concerning because it could happen without warning, even if you're not aware of it.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the sunroof control unit's software, ensuring it only closes when you're inside with the key fob. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
