What this recall means for you
The rear reflex reflectors on certain 2020 X7 xDrive40i and xDrive50i vehicles may not reflect enough light. This means the vehicle may not meet federal lighting requirements (FMVSS 108) and can be less visible to other drivers at night.
Reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash, particularly when the vehicle is parked or moving in low light. BMW will notify owners, and an authorized dealer will replace both rear reflex reflectors free of charge. You can contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 for more information.
To check whether your vehicle is affected, enter your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup or ask an authorized BMW dealer to check for open recalls.
