Chronology :
On October 8, 2021, BMW became aware of a potential issue involving the illumination of the rear license plate on a Model Year 2022 BMW X4. An engineering review was initiated.
Vehicle build configurations, varying trim levels, including packages/options, and model year designs were evaluated, including a recent vehicle midlife-cycle design change. Regulatory requirements were examined which included an assessment and comparison between world-wide and US-specific details. Supplier production, process, and potential supply chain affects were examined.
It was found that, due to a design change to the rear bumper, and in combination with the license plate bracket, vehicles may not fully conform to FMVSS 108 Section 7.7.13.3 regarding illumination of the rear license plate.
Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed in order to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.
On October 15, 2021, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary non-compliance recall.
BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
