What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing defect, signal interference may occur within the electronics of the brake system. If this occurs, a higher pedal force may be required for braking.
The anti-lock braking system and dynamic stability control will not be available.
Note: Drivers will be alerted by the brake warning light in the instrument cluster and a message will appear on the central display.
What are the hazards?
The vehicle remains controllable; however, a higher pedal force may be required for braking and in certain conditions, braking distance may be extended.
A reduction in braking performance could increase the risk of an accident resulting in injury to the vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and other road users.
What should consumers do?
If a warning message is displayed on the central display, drivers should follow the instructions provided and promptly contact their nearest BMW Dealer.
Owners of affected vehicles will receive written communication from BMW Australia.
When the necessary parts are available, all vehicle owners will be asked to bring their vehicle to a BMW dealership to have the electronic brake system controller replaced at no cost.

What are the defects?
Due to a software issue in the steering column control module, vehicles may have been built with a steering column control module (SCCM) turn signal lever which may not cancel when the steering wheel is rotated or switched off manually. This could lead to a non-cancelling indicator and/or high beams activating.
What are the hazards?
If the turn signal indicators do not illuminate as intended, other road users would be unable to identify if the vehicle is turning. This could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local authorised RAM dealer to have the software updated, free of charge.
