Issued by BMW of North America, LLC · Reported Jun 21, 2018 · 5 vehicles affected

What's wrong

BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2018 BMW X3 xDrive30i and X3 M40i vehicles. The rear turn signals on the outboard side panel will illuminate red, while the inboard turn signals simultaneously illuminate amber.

Consequence

Turn signals that flash multiple colors may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear turn signal lights, and replace if necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 20, 2018. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
