The short version

BMW of North America, LLC reported a problem with the driver monitoring camera/sensor. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The ground connection to the steering wheel may not have been attached correctly, resulting in an inoperative hands-on detection system.

WHY IT MATTERS

An inoperative hands-on detection system may fail to detect when the driver's hands are not on the steering wheel and therefore not engage the emergency stopping assistant system, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Take it to a dealer — they will inspect and reattach the ground connection as necessary, free of charge.
