Issue:
On certain vehicles, an internal part in the integrated brake system could fail during hard braking. If this happens, there would be a reduction in brake boost and the antilock brake system (ABS) would turn off. This can cause an increase in brake pedal effort that is required to stop the vehicle.
Safety Risk:
A sudden increase in brake pedal force and a loss of ABS braking could lead to an increase in stopping distance. 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 replace the integrated brake system (hydraulic unit and master cylinder).
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:
The tire and loading information label on certain vehicles lists the wrong tire size and recommended tire inflation pressures. As a result, if the owner’s manual isn’t consulted, a person may not properly inflate the tires. This could lead to poor handling and/or a tire failure. In addition, when the tires are replaced, the wrong tires could be installed.
Safety Risk:
Poor handling or 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 replace the tire and loading information label before each vehicle is sold.
