What is the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM recall for the 2023 BMW 740i? (Campaign #23V479000)

Your car has a special bar on the dashboard that controls your windshield defroster and hazard lights. In some 2023 740i, 760i xDrive, and i7 xDrive60 models, this bar might not turn on the defroster or hazard lights when you press the buttons, and the buttons might not light up when you press them. If the defroster or hazard lights don't turn on when you need them, you could be more likely to be in a crash or hurt in an accident.
