Plain-English summary

BMW of North America, LLC is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 BMW iX and 2022 BMW i4 vehicles. The affected models include the iX xDrive40, iX xDrive50, iX M60, i4 eDrive40, and i4 M50.

While in Valet Parking Mode, the Central Information Display (CID) may not display critical safety information, including warning messages and warning lights. This prevents drivers from receiving important safety notifications.

Owners should contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417 to schedule a free software update to the display's head unit. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 6, 2022. For additional information, owners can contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
