BMW North America is recalling 134,100 vehicles over faulty taillights. Accordingly, the affected vehicles include the 2008-2010 528i, 535i, 550i and M5 manufactured from March 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009.
The problem is that the taillights can fail due to resistance at the electrical contact points in the lights. This could damage to the ground terminal and housing of the connector resulting in an intermittent or permanent loss of functionality of one or more rear lamp functions (tail, brake, turn-signal, reverse).
The recall is expected to begin during October and dealers will replace the rear lamp bulb carriers free of charge. Owners can contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
