What Happened
The sunroof control system in your vehicle is a computer that helps you open and close your sunroof. In some 2019-2023 models, this system might be set up to let the sunroof close unexpectedly, even if you're not inside the car.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sunroof closes without you inside, it could hit you or a passenger, causing injuries. This is a serious safety risk.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the sunroof control system's software free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, and you can contact them at 1-800-525-7417 if you have any questions.
