NHTSA recall 20V443000
Back Over Prevention, Electrical System · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles were not programmed with rearview camera software during assembly, therefore, when the transmission is shifted to reverse, a rearview image is not displayed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "rearview mirrors."
Why it matters: An inoperative rearview camera display can increase the risk of a crash when reversing.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will program the affected vehicles with rearview camera software, free of charge. The recall began August 14, 2020. All vehicles have been remedied as of November 9, 2020.
