NHTSA recall 17V719000
Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles may have an error in the software for the instrument panel, causing the display to not properly illuminate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 101, "control and displays."
Why it matters: If the display does not illuminate during start up or does not illuminate various control and warning symbols while driving, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster display software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 8, 2018.
