What happened

BMW is recalling certain 2019-2021 and 2020-2021 model year vehicles, including X3, X4, X5, X7, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 8 Series, and other models. The rearview camera software in these vehicles may cause the rearview image to be partially obscured or the screen may not illuminate when shifting into Reverse, which increases the risk of a crash or injury if the driver relies solely on the camera image.

BMW will notify owners beginning April 16, 2021, and dealers will inspect and update the rearview camera software at no charge. Owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.

Hazard

If the driver relies on only the rearview camera image, the missing or reduced rearview image view can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

What should I do?

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rearview camera software and update it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 16, 2021. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
