Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to appear correctly in the central display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear.
Safety Risk:
A rearview camera image that does not display correctly could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the rearview camera software, if necessary.
Issue:
On certain plug-In hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), debris may have entered the high-voltage battery during production. As a result, the battery could short circuit.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit in the battery could create a fire risk.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development. BMW recommends that you should not charge your vehicle and that you should not drive the vehicle in manual mode, sport mode or use the shift paddles until the recall repairs have been completed. BMW also recommends that you should drain the high-voltage battery via iDrive, by setting/leaving the charging state at 30%, until the recall repairs have been completed.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the wrong headlight lenses may have been installed. This could cause the headlights to produce blue light. Canadian regulations do not allow headlights to emit a blue light.
Safety Risk:
Headlights that produce blue light may confuse other road users. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the headlights. They will be replaced, if necessary.
Issue:
On certain Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), weld beads may not have been removed from the high voltage battery during assembly. As a result, during the initial charge to at least 80% of capacity, the weld beads could cause a short circuit between the battery cells.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit could create the risk of a fire.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the high voltage battery. The battery modules will be replaced, if necessary.
Note: Only one of the affected vehicles was sold to a retail customer. Dealers will inspect and repair all other vehicles before they are sold.
Issue:
A small number of vehicles were built with tires that may have a defect in the inner layer of the tire. This could lead to sudden loss of air pressure or a tire failure.
Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with Pirelli P-Zero 275/35R22 or Pirelli P-Zero 315/30R22 tires, with date codes of either 2820 or 2920.
Safety Risk:
A tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
None of the affected vehicles have been sold to retail customers. BMW will instruct dealers to inspect the tires and each affected vehicle. The tires will be replaced, if necessary.
Issue:
On a small number of vehicles, an extra bolt may have been installed in the starter motor. The bolt was not properly attached and could fall into the transmission housing. If this happens, you may hear an unusual noise from the transmission and the engine could stall suddenly.
Safety Risk:
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
None of the affected vehicles have been sold to retail customers. BMW will instruct dealers to inspect the vehicles. If an additional bolt is found, it will be removed. BMW will replace any parts that are damaged by this problem before the vehicles are sold.
