Consequence
Turn signals that flash multiple colors may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear turn signal lights, and replace if necessary, free of charge. The recall began August 20, 2018. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
