Component
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Manufacturer
BMW of North America, LLC
What Happened
The headlight in your Z4 or Supra is the part that shines light on the road. It's designed to be fixed in place, but in some cases, it can be adjusted horizontally, which is not supposed to be possible.
Risk if Unfixed
If the headlight moves out of position, it could shine directly into the eyes of oncoming drivers, or create a blind spot for you, making it harder to see the road. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your BMW or Toyota dealer will inspect and adjust the headlight adjustment plugs to make sure they're working correctly, and will do it at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible after getting the recall notice.
