  • 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 2021071 [Canada]: Tires

This could lead to a sudden loss of air pressure and could cause a tire failure. Note: this recall only affects certain continental tires, with specific date codes and mold numbers. Safety risk: a tire failure could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: bmw will notify the owner by mail and instruct them to take the vehicle to a dealer to inspect and replace the tires, if necessary.

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).

  • Recall 2020528 [Canada]: Suspension
    Issue: on a small number of vehicles, a weld on the front axle support bracket could break due to a manufacturing defect. As a result, the right front control arm could become loose.

Corrective actions: bmw will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the front axle support.

  • Recall 2020409 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the wrong headlight lenses may have been installed. This could cause the headlights to produce blue light.

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.

  • Recall 2020379 [Canada]: Structure
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear spoiler might not be properly attached. This could cause the spoiler to detach from the vehicle. Safety risk: a spoiler that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people. Corrective actions: none of the affected vehicles have been sold to retail customers. Bmw will instruct dealers to inspect the rear spoiler, and if necessary, replace it.

  • Recall 2020366 [Canada]: Powertrain
    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.

  • Recall 2020067 [Canada]: Structure
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear spoiler might not be properly attached. This could cause the spoiler to detach from the vehicle. Safety risk: a spoiler that detaches from the vehicle could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people. Corrective actions: bmw will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the rear spoiler, and if necessary, replace it.

  • Recall 2019480 [Canada]: Visual system
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the rearview camera does not return to the default settings when it turns on. This could make the rearview image difficult to see if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display brightness at or near the lowest setting, and contrast at or near the highest setting. Canadian regulations require that the rearview display returns to the default view each time the camera is turned on. Safety risk: reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rearview camera. Drivers are recommended not to adjust the display brightness at or near the lowest setting, and contrast at or near the highest setting, until this recall is completed.

  • Recall 2022202 [Canada]: Structure
    Issue: on certain vehicles, a software problem could allow you to close the sunroof remotely without the key fob inside the vehicle. Canadian regulations require the key fob to be in or near the vehicle when closing the sunroof. Safety risk: a sunroof that can be closed without the key fob in or near the vehicle could create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: bmw will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the roof function control unit. Alternatively, you can download an over-the-air update to fix this problem.
