Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
What’s wrong
If other drivers cannot easily see the turn signals, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What to do
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the turn signals, free of charge. The recall began October 25, 2017. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
