BMW recalls vehicles with rear-view camera issue

BMW of North America is recalling 312 model year 2020-2021 X3 sDrive 30i, X3 xDrive 30i, X3M 40i, X3 xDrive 30e, X4 xDrive 30i, X4M 40i, 530i, 540i, 540i xDrive, M550i xDrive, M5, 550e, 550e xDrive, and 550e iPerformance vehicles.

A small portion of the rearview camera image may be slightly obscured.

If the driver relies on only the camera image, the reduced rearview image view can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

What to do

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and -- if necessary -- program the rearview camera with updated software.

The recall is expected to begin November 23, 2020.
