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

The brake unit in these BMWs has a part inside — a rotor joined to a shaft — that may not have been welded correctly at the factory. If you brake hard, the two pieces can come apart. When that happens, the anti-lock brakes stop working and the power assist that makes the brake pedal easy to press is reduced, so stopping the car takes much more effort and distance. BMW dealers will replace the whole brake unit.
Reported 2019-12-11 · Campaign 19V883000 · Model years: 2020
A bundle of wires that runs to the transmission can become damaged, causing a short circuit. If that happens, the transmission can shift itself into neutral, which means power stops reaching the wheels. The car would coast instead of accelerating, and you could lose speed in traffic or on the highway with no warning. Dealers will check the wiring, replace it if it is damaged, and reroute and tie down every harness so it cannot be damaged again. The work is free.
