EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's headlight is designed to shine white light to illuminate the road ahead. However, in some 2020-2021 BMW models, the headlight could produce a blue light instead, which could confuse other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed
If other drivers see a blue light from your approaching vehicle, they might be confused, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect your headlight and, if needed, replace it with a correct one – at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.

Risk if Unfixed
If the reflectors aren't working properly, other drivers may not see you as easily, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will replace both rear reflectors with new ones, free of charge. You'll receive a notification when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
