SITUATION

BMW AG is conducting a Voluntary Non-Compliance Recall (effective April 14, 2022) on certain Model Year 2019 – 2022 BMW vehicles that were produced between June 1, 2019 and April 7, 2022.

During supplier production, FZD (roof function center) control unit software may not have been programmed to specifications. As a result, it may be possible for the sunroof to close without the remote-control key inside the vehicle.

The Recall Notice and Q&A are attached for further information.

 

CAUSE

Software error in the roof function center (FZD).

 

CORRECTION

Program the vehicle.

 

PROCEDURE

  1. Determine the vehicle’s current I-level by either using AIR or the ISPA NEXT application. If needed, usethe latest ISTA to work through test modules.

 

  1. Is the current vehicle integration level:

 

Model Integration level
F95 F96 G05 G06 G07 G26 Lower than S18A-22-03-545

Chronology :

In early March 2022, a potential issue involving sunroof operation was raised during a testing and analysis program. An engineering review was initiated. A review of software / coding suggested that certain aspects of the software, specifically sunroof operation for vehicles for the US market, may not have been appropriate.
Further testing and analyses were performed. A review and comparison of worldwide regulatory requirements, including FMVSS 118 was conducted.

In early April, the review indicated that inappropriate roof function control unit software, potentially containing functionality for other markets, had inadvertently been released in production and service for US market vehicles.

Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.

On April 13, 2022, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall.

BMW has not received any reports, nor is BMW otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries that may be related to this issue.

BMW Diagnostic & Reprogramming

Introduction

The Online Service System (OSS) has been developed specifically for independent automotive workshops to provide an extensive range of resources. The following applications are available in the OSS:

 

ISTA Diagnosis Application

Vehicle diagnostics from the Z3/E36, with the BMW ICOM, or with a J2534 pass-thru tool (from model year 1996).

  • Fault Code Diagnosis
  • Test Plans
  • Repair Instructions (E30 or higher)
  • Technical Data
  • Wiring diagrams

 

Web ISTA Information Application

WebISTA has been developed to provide an information only application for users that do not require all of the services included in the ISTA diagnostics application.

  • Repair Instructions (E30 or higher)
  • Technical Data
  • Tightening torques
  • Wiring diagrams

 

You can search using document title, document number and subject areas as the search criteria. The desired information is displayed by means of graphics and explanatory text.

 

ISTA/P Online - Control Module Reprogramming

With ISTA/P you can reprogram the onboard control modules that are capable of software reprogramming.  For ISTA/P, a data interface, a power supply and an Internet connection are required. The data interface can be a BMW Group ICOM interface or a "Pass-Thru Tool (PTT)" that fulfills the requirements of the SAE J2534 standard.

 

What is needed to diagnose and program with the BMW OSS?

The OSS consists of a desktop or laptop PC connected to BMW over the Internet. To connect to the vehicle you can use the BMW authorized diagnostic interface "integrated communication optical module (ICOM)" or use a J2534 "Pass Thru Tool (PTT)".
