BMW Cars and SUVs: Backup Camera Image May Fail medium

Reported 2021-02-19 · Campaign 21V096000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

When you shift into Reverse on these BMW cars and SUVs, the backup camera may not work properly. Part of the picture can be blocked, or the screen may stay dark and show no image at all. Backup cameras are required so you can see people, pets and objects directly behind the vehicle. If you rely only on the screen while backing up, you could hit something or someone you cannot see. A dealer will check the camera software and update it if needed, at no cost.

BMW and MINI plug-in hybrid batteries may catch fire critical

Reported 2020-09-30 · Campaign 20V601000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

Debris may have gotten inside the hybrid battery cells of these BMW and MINI plug-in hybrids while they were being built. That debris can cause a short circuit in the battery, which can start a fire. BMW will inspect the battery and replace the battery module if needed, at no cost, but the full fix was still being developed. Until your vehicle is repaired, BMW says do not charge it and do not use sport mode, manual mode, or the shift paddles.

BMW and Toyota Supra backup camera picture can vanish low

Reported 2019-09-27 · Campaign 19V684000 · Model years: 2019, 2020

On these BMW, Rolls-Royce and Toyota Supra vehicles, the camera and screen settings can be changed so the rear view picture no longer appears. The vehicle then remembers that setting, so the next time you shift into reverse the picture is still missing and you cannot see what is directly behind you. Federal rules require that image to appear, so these vehicles do not meet the standard. Dealers correct it with a free software update to the camera system.

BMW plug-in models: portable charging cord shock and fire risk critical

Reported 2018-09-20 · Campaign 18V652000 · Model years: 2019

The problem here is not the car itself but the TurboCord portable charging cord supplied with these plug-in and electric BMWs. Small electrical parts inside the charger can fail. If that happens, the cord can give someone an electric shock or catch fire. People usually use this cord to charge from a household outlet, often in a garage or driveway. A dealer will look at your charging cable and replace it if needed, at no cost to you.
