What This Recall Means

Component

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

What Happened
The rear license plate lamp on your X4 is a light that shows your license plate number when it's dark outside. In some 2022 X4 models, this lamp might not shine brightly enough.
Risk if Unfixed
If your license plate lamp isn't working well, other drivers might have trouble seeing your plate, especially at night. This could lead to confusion and maybe even a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will adjust the license plate bracket to make sure the lamp shines brightly enough. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
