Recall 2021479 [Canada]: Brakes
Issue: on certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the vacuum pump to be damaged during engine starting. If this happens, there could be a loss of brake assist. This can cause an increase in brake pedal effort and increase the distance needed to stop the vehicle. Safety risk: a sudden increase in brake pedal force could lead to an increased 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 to update the engine management software.

Recall 2021078 [Canada]: Visual system
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.

Recall 2020462 [Canada]: Visual system
Iissue: on certain vehicles, a small part of the rearview camera image could be blocked. Canadian regulations require the full rearview image to display while the transmission is in reverse gear. Safety risk: a rearview camera image that is not fully displayed 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 inspect, and if necessary, update the rearview camera software.
