What This Recall Means

Component

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

What Happened
The power window control system in your 228i, 228i xDrive, or M235i xDrive is the part that handles the sunroof and windows. In some cases, it can keep the sunroof closed even after you've turned off the engine and locked the vehicle.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sunroof keeps closing after you've turned off the engine and locked the car, it could cause injury if you or a passenger tries to get out or if you're standing nearby.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the sunroof's computer software, so it stops closing the sunroof when you turn off the engine or lock the car. This update is free, and you'll be notified by BMW when it's time to schedule the repair.
