Dear BMW Owner / Lessee:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
BMW AG has decided that certain Model Year 2022-2023 BMW 2 Series, 8 Series, and Z4 models
fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 118 (Power-operated
windows systems). Our records indicate that you are the owner of a potentially affected vehicle.
Why are we contacting you?
We are pleased to inform you that we will be ready to perform this recall starting on May 1st.
If you have not had this recall performed, please contact your authorized BMW center
immediately to schedule an appointment. Please visit bmwusa.com/dealer to locate your
nearest authorized BMW center.
What could happen?
When the digital key is removed from the vehicle, continued operation of the windows and roof
systems may be possible, which could increase the risk of injury. Please note that vehicles are
equipped with an auto-reversal / anti-trap feature to help reduce the risk of injury. BMW
recommends that, prior to your vehicle receiving the remedy, and to reduce the risk of
possible injury, drivers only use the standard vehicle key fob, and not use the digital key.
If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers and passengers
of this important information.
What will BMW do?
Potentially affected vehicles will receive a software update for free which should take about one
hour. There may be some options to help overcome the inconvenience of bringing your vehicle in
for service, if needed. Contact your local BMW center to check what may be available.
What if I am not the current owner of this vehicle?
If you changed your address or sold the vehicle, please let us know by visiting
bmwusa.com/mybmw or by contacting BMW Customer Relations (see left side of page for contact
info). If you are a vehicle lessor, Federal Regulations require you to forward this notice to
your lessee within ten days.
What if I have additional questions?
For the latest updates to this recall, please visit bmwusa.com/recall. Should you have any
questions about this recall, please contact your authorized BMW center. If you need additional
assistance, please contact BMW Customer Relations.
If your BMW center is unable to remedy the defect without charge or within a reasonable period
of time, you may notify the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200
New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-
327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

causes any inconvenience. We recommend that you and your passengers wear your safety belt

Estimado propietario o arrendatario de un vehículo BMW:
Le enviamos este aviso de conformidad con la Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos
(National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act). BMW AG ha determinado que algunos vehículos
BMW de los modelos de la Serie 2, Serie 8 y Z4 de los años 2022 y 2023 no cumplen con el
Estándar Federal de Seguridad de Vehículos (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) n.º 118
(Sistemas de ventanillas eléctricas). Según nuestros registros, usted es propietario de un vehículo
posiblemente afectado.
¿Por qué nos comunicamos con usted?
Nos complace informarle que estaremos listos para realizar esta retirada a partir del 1 de mayo. Si
no se ha llevado a cabo la retirada, comuníquese de inmediato con el centro autorizado de
BMW para programar una cita. Visite bmwusa.com/dealer para buscar el centro autorizado de
BMW más cercano.
¿Qué podría suceder?
Cuando se quita la llave digital del vehículo, es posible que los sistemas de las ventanillas y el
techo sigan funcionando, lo que aumentaría el riesgo de lesiones. Tenga en cuenta que los
vehículos están equipados con una función de retroceso automático/antiatrapamiento para
ayudar a reducir el riesgo de lesiones. Antes de que esto se solucione y para reducir el riesgo
de posibles lesiones, BMW recomienda a los conductores que solo utilicen la llave a
control remoto estándar del vehículo y no la llave digital.
Si usted no es la única persona que conduce este vehículo, comparta esta información
importante con los otros conductores y pasajeros.
¿Qué hará BMW?
Se actualizará el software de los vehículos que podrían estar afectados sin cargo, lo que podría
llevar cerca de una hora. Podría haber algunas opciones para ayudar a subsanar el inconveniente
de traer su vehículo para que se realice el servicio, de ser necesario. Comuníquese con su centro
de BMW local para consultar qué opciones hay.
¿Qué sucede si no soy el propietario actual de este vehículo?
Si usted cambió de dirección o vendió el vehículo, debe informarlo en bmwusa.com/mybmw o
comunicarse con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW (BMW Customer Relations) (consulte
la información de contacto en el lado izquierdo de la página). Si usted es arrendador de
vehículos, las reglamentaciones federales exigen que reenvíe este aviso a su arrendatario
en un plazo de diez días.
¿Qué debo hacer si tengo más preguntas?
Para conocer las últimas actualizaciones sobre esta retirada, visite bmwusa.com/recall. Si tiene
alguna pregunta sobre esta retirada, comuníquese con el centro autorizado de BMW. Si necesita
más ayuda, comuníquese con el Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW.
Si el centro de BMW no puede solucionar el defecto sin cargo o en un plazo razonable, usted
puede notificar al administrador de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito en
Carreteras (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), en 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E.,
Washington, DC 20590, llamar a la Línea gratuita directa de seguridad vehicular (Vehicle Safety
Hotline) al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) o visitar el sitio web http://www.safercar.gov.
Le aseguramos que nos importa su seguridad y le pedimos disculpas si esta retirada le causa
algún inconveniente. Recomendamos que usted y sus pasajeros utilicen el cinturón de seguridad
en todo momento.
Atentamente.

Year 2022 – 2023 BMW vehicles that were produced between September 8, 2021 and December 2,
2022.
During a dealer service visit, in which the Body Domain Controller (BDC) was replaced, a necessary
vehicle programming and coding update may not have occurred. If this happened, the Automatic
Door Lock (ADL) function would no longer be set to “default on”. This could lead to an unlocked

Country : NR Chronology :
On January 18, 2023, an atypical test result occurred during digital key testing. An engineering review was initiated. Additional testing and analyses involving various vehicle types and build configurations was performed. Worldwide regulatory requirements, including FMVSS 118, were reviewed. Analyses of vehicle electronic control unit communications involving the functionality of the digital key were performed. It was suggested that, due to the test results obtained in certain vehicle operating conditions, there might be an issue related to FMVSS 118. Further reviews of software / coding indicated that certain aspects of the software, specifically for US market regulatory requirements, may not have been coded as intended. Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles. On February 10, 2023, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary non-compliance recall. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-099
