NHTSA recall 21V091000
Visibility · BMW of North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: If the driver initiates an automatic closure of the sunroof, and the vehicle key status is changed to "off" or "lock," the sunroof may continue to close. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 118, "power-operated window systems."
Why it matters: If the sunroof continues to close after the vehicle is shut off, it may increase the risk of injury.
The fix: Bmw will notify owners, and dealers will update the sunroof electronic coding software, free of charge. The recall began April 16, 2021.
