BMW if the driver initiates an automatic closure of the sunroof, and the vehicle key status is changed to "off" or "lock," the sunroof may continue to close.
The short version
BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the visibility sun/moon roof assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
If the driver initiates an automatic closure of the sunroof, and the vehicle key status is changed to "off" or "lock," the sunroof may continue to close. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-operated Window Systems."
If the sunroof continues to close after the vehicle is shut off, it may increase the risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will update the sunroof electronic coding software, free of charge.
