Q2. What is the specific issue?
The rearview camera display may not fully conform to a Federal requirement. If the brightness is set at/near its lowest setting, and the contrast is set at/near its highest setting then, at the “next backing event”, the display may not meet a Federal requirement.
Q3. What can happen as a result of this issue?
At the “next backing event”, if a vehicle operator relied on the displayed image, with brightness set at/near its lowest setting, and contrast set at/near its highest setting, then in certain lighting conditions, this could affect the visibility of certain object behind the vehicle.. However, vehicles are equipped with a Park Distance Control (PDC) system which alerts vehicle operators, both audibly and visually, to objects behind a vehicle.
Q4. Why are other vehicles not included in this Non-Compliance Recall?
Other models are equipped with rearview camera software that fully conforms to the Federal requirement.
Q5. Can I continue to drive my vehicle?
Yes. However, when you receive a letter requesting you to make an appointment to have this Non-Compliance Recall performed by an authorized BMW center, please do so as soon as possible. If you are not the only driver of this vehicle, please advise all other drivers of this important information.
Q6. How will I be informed of this Non-Compliance Recall?
You will receive a letter in November via First Class mail advising you of this Non-Compliance Recall and requesting you to schedule an appointment with an authorized BMW center to have this Non-Compliance Recall performed. You can locate your nearest authorized BMW center at www.bmwusa.com/dealer.

IMPORTANTE RETIRADA POR MOTIVOS DE INCUMPLIMIENTO – Repuesto disponible
Este aviso se aplica a su vehículo,
Campaña de retirada n.º 19V-684: Cámara retrovisora
Noviembre de 2019
Estimado propietario o arrendatario de un vehículo BMW:
Le enviamos este aviso en virtud de la National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Ley Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito y Vehículos). BMW AG ha determinado que algunos vehículos BMW de los modelos M5, M8, Z4, X3, X3M, X4, X4M, X5, X6 y X7, series 3, 5, 6, 7 y 8, de los años 2018-2020, no cumplen con el Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 (Estándar Federal de Seguridad de Vehículos n.º 111) (Visibilidad trasera). Según nuestros registros, usted es propietario de un vehículo potencialmente afectado.
¿Por qué nos ponemos en contacto con usted?
Nos complace informarle que estamos listos para realizar la retirada. Si no se ha hecho la retirada, comuníquese de inmediato con el centro autorizado de BMW para programar una cita. Visite www.bmwusa.com/dealer para localizar el centro de BMW más cercano.
¿Qué podría suceder?
Si el brillo de la cámara retrovisora está configurada en su nivel más bajo o cerca de este, y el contraste está configurado en su nivel más alto o cerca de este, en la próxima “marcha atrás”, en función de ciertas condiciones de iluminación, es posible que el visor no cumpla un requisito federal. Según estas configuraciones/condiciones, si un conductor se basara en la imagen del visor, esto podría aumentar el riesgo de choque cuando dé marcha atrás.
Tenga en cuenta que los vehículos están equipados con un sistema de control de distancia de estacionamiento (Park Distance Control, PDC), el cual les avisa a los conductores, tanto de forma audible como visual, cuando hay objetos detrás del vehículo.
Si usted no es la única persona que conduce ese vehículo, comparta esta importante información con todos los demás conductores y pasajeros.
¿Qué hará BMW?
Se actualizará el software de la cámara retrovisora sin cargo, lo que podría llevar aproximadamente una hora.
¿Qué ocurre si no soy el propietario actual de este vehículo?
Puede actualizar la información de la titularidad del vehículo o su información de contacto completando la tarjeta con respuesta postal paga adjunta o registrándose en https://www.bmwusa.com/myBMW. Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, las reglamentaciones federales exigen que reenvíe este aviso a su arrendatario en un plazo de diez días.
¿Qué debo hacer si tengo alguna pregunta o algún problema?
Para ver las últimas actualizaciones de esta retirada, visite www.bmwusa.com/recall. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre esta retirada, comuníquese con el centro autorizado de BMW. Si necesita asistencia adicional, comuníquese con el BMW Customer Relations and Services (Servicio de Atención al Cliente de BMW) llamando al 1-800-525-7417 o por correo electrónico a CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.
Si el centro de BMW no puede resolver el defecto sin cargo o en un plazo razonable, puede notificar al administrador de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (Administración Nacional de Seguridad de Tránsito en Carreteras), 1200 New Jersey Ave., S.E., Washington, DC 20590, llamar a la Vehicle Safety Hotline (Línea gratuita directa de seguridad vehicular) al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) o visitar https://www.safercar.gov.
