BMW brake light may flash instead of remain steady during emergency braking.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the exterior lighting brake lights. Here is what owners need to know.
The brake light may flash instead of remain steady during emergency braking. 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."
A flashing brake light can cause confusion to other drivers on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.
BMW will notify owner, and dealers will reprogram the emergency stop signal function, free of charge.
