Protect Against Recall Risks
NHTSA recall information identifies two safety-related areas for the 2014 BMW 7 Series. An Engine recall involves incompatible Engine Control Unit software that may cause the engine to stall, and an engine stall can increase crash risk. An Exterior Lighting recall involves an incorrect left rear taillight assembly that may make the vehicle less visible to other drivers, also increasing crash risk.
