What's wrong, in plain English
In certain BMW i4 and iX vehicles, when the vehicle is switched into Valet Parking Mode, the central display screen may fail to show important safety information, such as warning messages and warning lights. This means that while the vehicle is in that mode, a warning that would normally appear on the screen may not be shown to the driver, so the driver would not see it.
What you should do
2. Contact a dealer, or call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
3. The display software update will be done free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V483000.
