04- Label#2024544
587,250 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. The company has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
- Lights And Instruments#2020066
239 units affected
Issue: On certain M6 Gran Coupe models, the center high-mounted stop lamp (third brake light) may not be properly attached. Over time, the lamp could loosen and separate from the vehicle. Safety Risk: A stop lamp that detaches from the vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, it would reduce vehicle visibility for following road users. Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect and secure the high-mounted stop lamp. If the stop lamp has detached from the vehicle and is damaged, it will be replaced.
- Label#2017269
33 units affected
Certain M-Series vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 110 - Tire Selection and Rims. For some X5 M and X6 M vehicles, the tire and loading information label incorrectly states the vehicles were equipped with 20-inch tires, however the vehicles are equipped with 21-inch tires. For some M6 Cabriolet and M6 Coupe vehicles, the tire and loading information label incorrectly states the vehicles were equipped with 19-inch tires, however the vehicle is equipped with 20-inch tires. Additionally, the label for the M6 Cabriolet and M6 Coupe vehicles incorrectly displays a value of 32psi (220 kPa), although it should display a value of 35psi (240kPa). Correction: Dealers will replace the Tire and Loading label.
- Airbag#2016632
485 units affected
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with airbag inflators that do not meet specifications. This could cause affected airbags to fail to deploy properly in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to the occupants. Correction: Dealers will replace affected airbag modules. Note: Depending on the vehicle in question, the front passenger, knee, side or curtain airbag modules may be affected.
