BMW of North America is recalling 3,193 vehicles, including various 2022-2023 2 Series, 8 Series, and Z4 models. A software error in the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may allow the power windows and sunroof to be closed even after the digital key has been removed from the vehicle. This defect fails to comply with federal safety standards for power-operated window systems. Owners will receive a free software update from dealers, though the digital key's cellular and Wi-Fi functions will be temporarily deactivated until the fix is applied.
The ability to close windows or the sunroof without a key present increases the risk of accidental closure on occupants, which can lead to pinching or crushing injuries.
You have 2 options:
ECU Software Update
Temporary Digital Key Deactivation
