EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The headlight in your vehicle is the part that illuminates the road ahead. In certain 2020-2021 X5, X6, and X7 models, the headlight can produce a blue light instead of the usual beam.
Risk if Unfixed
If another driver sees the blue light from your vehicle, they could be confused and potentially swerve into your lane, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will inspect your headlight and replace it with a proper one if needed – at no cost to you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready.
