Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies four safety campaigns for the 2020 BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe. Backup Camera software may leave the rearview image missing or reduced, increasing crash or injury risk when the driver relies on that view. Front seat belt buckle sensors may incorrectly detect a belted occupant as unbelted, potentially affecting air bag and pretensioner deployment and increasing injury risk. A separate Integrated Brake System issue may cause loss of ABS and reduced braking assistance, increasing crash risk. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved, so schedule a VIN check and repair promptly, even if the vehicle currently seems to operate normally.
