## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2018 230i, 230i xDrive, M240i, M240i xDrive, M2, and X3 xDrive 30i SAV vehicles.  These vehicles may have an error in the software for the instrument panel, causing the display to not properly illuminate.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 101, "Control and Displays."


## What can happen

If the display does not illuminate during start up or does not illuminate various control and warning symbols while driving, it can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster display software, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin January 8, 2018.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.
