- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V648000

## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain model year 2015 X3 and X4 Sports Activity Vehicles manufactured July 28, 2014 to July 29, 2014.  The affected vehicles may have been produced with a driver's side exterior rearview mirror that was designed to meet non\-US market requirements.  Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards No. 111, "Rearview Mirrors."


## What can happen

The driver may not notice that vehicles viewed in the mirror are closer than they appear, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's side exterior rearview mirror, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2014.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417 or CustomerRelations@bmwusa.com.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
