Details
What's wrong: Contaminated hardware may cause the attachment brackets of the taillight housings to crack, causing the lights to loosen or possibly detach from the vehicle.
Why it matters: If a taillight detaches from the vehicle, it would no longer provide the required lighting to following traffic, or it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will properly secure the taillights, free of charge. The recall began March 28, 2019.
