NHTSA Campaign 13V407000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

What Happened

The bulb holder in your rear taillights is the part that keeps your brake, turn signal, and reverse lights shining bright. Over time, it can wear out and cause your lights to flicker or go out.

Risk if Unfixed

If your rear lights don't work right, it's harder for other drivers to see you and understand what you're doing on the road. This could lead to a collision.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your BMW dealer will swap out the worn-out bulb holders for new ones, free of charge. Just schedule the repair when you get the recall notice, and it'll be done at no cost to you.
