Reported risk: Issue:
On certain vehicles, the driver may not be able to control the windshield defrosting/defogging system and/or hazard lights using the interaction bar on the dashboard. Additionally, the control buttons may not light up when pressed.
Safety Risk:
A windshield that can't be defogged or defrosted can reduce visibility. Hazard lights that don't work could make the vehicle less visible. Both could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the interaction bar.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
