Issue:
On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the external sound generator to not work properly. Under certain conditions, the vehicle may not produce enough sound to be detected by a pedestrian or cyclist. New Canadian regulations require electric vehicles to make a minimum sound level when operating at low speeds.
Safety Risk:
An external sound generator that doesn't work could create an increased risk of injury for pedestrians and cyclists.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the external artificial sound generator software.
Issue:
On certain vehicles, the steering wheel hands-on detection system may not detect when the driver removes their hands from the steering wheel. If the driver has an emergency and is unable to drive, the emergency stopping assistant system would not activate.
Safety Risk:
An emergency stopping assistant system that doesn't work in an emergency situation could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
BMW will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the steering wheel ground connection and, if necessary, tighten it.
