The brake fluid reservoir cap may not clearly state the required type of brake fluid and the process for filling the reservoir, possibly leading to an improper maintenance procedure.

What to do

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake fluid reservoir cap free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin May 11, 2020.

Owners may contact BMW customer service at (800) 525-7417.
