BMW rear turn signals on the outboard side panel will illuminate red, while the inboard turn signals simultaneously illuminate amber.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the exterior lighting turn signal. Here is what owners need to know.
The rear turn signals on the outboard side panel will illuminate red, while the inboard turn signals simultaneously illuminate amber. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Turn signals that flash multiple colors may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear turn signal lights, and replace if necessary, free of charge.
