What's wrong, in plain English
BMW is recalling certain X7 vehicles because of a problem with the front parking lights. In certain driving conditions, only one of the two front parking lights may stay lit, while the other one goes dark and stops working normally. This means the lighting on these vehicles no longer meets the federal safety standard that covers lamps, reflective devices, and other associated lighting equipment on vehicles, as required by law.
What you should do
2. Contact a BMW dealer, or call BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
3. The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
