- EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
- Problem
- BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Z4 sDrive30i, Z4 M40i and 2020 Toyota Supra vehicles. The headlamps are able to be adjusted horizontally. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment."
- Risk
- Should the headlamps be adjusted horizontally, there could be increased glare and reduced visibility for oncoming drivers, or reduced visibility for the vehicle operator, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlamp vertical and horizontal adjustment plugs, correcting them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 23, 2020. BMW owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 or Toyota owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain headlamps on these vehicles can be adjusted horizontally, which means they do not fully meet federal lighting safety requirements. If the headlamps are moved sideways, oncoming drivers may be dazzled by extra glare, or the driver may see the road less well at night. Either problem can raise the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the headlamp vertical and horizontal adjustment plugs and correct them as needed. Owners of BMW vehicles can call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417, and Toyota owners can call 1-888-270-9371. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
