Summary

BMW of North America is recalling 202 vehicles, specifically certain 2026 228i Gran Coupe, 228i xDrive Gran Coupe, and M235i xDrive Gran Coupe models. These vehicles are equipped with rear light assemblies that may not function properly, potentially affecting the taillights, brake lights, or turn signals. To fix this issue, authorized BMW dealers will replace the rear light assemblies at no cost to the owners.

Risk

If the rear lights, brake lights, or turn signals fail to illuminate correctly, other drivers may not be able to see the vehicle or understand the driver's intentions. This significantly increases the risk of a rear-end collision or other crashes, especially in low-light or poor weather conditions.
