EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The headlights on your vehicle have a blue light that's not supposed to be there. This is a problem because it's not what oncoming drivers are expecting to see.
Risk if Unfixed
If you drive at night, the blue light could confuse other drivers, making it harder for them to see you as a vehicle — this could increase the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will check your headlamps and replace them if needed, free of charge. You should schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.
