3 recalls covering model years 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
BMW is recalling certain 2019-2021 cars and SUVs across many models because of a problem with the backup camera. When the driver shifts into reverse, a small part of the picture behind the vehicle may be hidden, or the screen may not light up at all. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for rear visibility. Dealers will check the backup camera software and update it if needed.
On certain BMW, Rolls-Royce and Toyota Supra models, the backup camera and display settings can be adjusted so the rear-view image no longer shows on the screen. Once set this way, the system keeps that setting the next time the vehicle is put in reverse, so no camera image appears.
On these BMW vehicles, the high-pressure fuel pump may not have been properly attached to the engine. Over time, this can cause the fuel pump flange to crack. A cracked flange can allow fuel to leak from the fuel system.
