Corrective Actions: BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take the vehicle to a dealer to replace the electric motor electronics module.

A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
