NHTSA recall 18V431000
Exterior Lighting · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The rear turn signals on the outboard side panel will illuminate red, while the inboard turn signals simultaneously illuminate amber. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Turn signals that flash multiple colors may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear turn signal lights, and replace if necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 20, 2018.
