FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS:EXTERNAL/PEDESTRIAN ALERT
What Happened
The external warning sound system in your i5 eDrive40 or i5 M60 is designed to alert pedestrians when you're approaching them quietly. This system uses an artificial sound generator that produces a noise when you're starting the car in electric mode.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sound generator fails, you won't hear the warning sound when you're approaching pedestrians, and they might not know you're coming. This increases the risk of injury to people in the pedestrian's path.
Free Fix
Your BMW dealer will update the sound generator software to ensure the warning sound works correctly, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
