- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 19V074000
- Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC
- Reported: 2019\-01\-30
- Owners notified: 2019\-03\-28

- Units potentially affected: 5920

## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2018\-2019 BMW X1 sDrive28i and X1 xDrive28i vehicles.  Contaminated hardware may cause the attachment brackets of the taillight housings to crack, causing the lights to loosen or possibly detach from the vehicle.


## What can happen

If a taillight detaches from the vehicle, it would no longer provide the required lighting to following traffic, or it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will properly secure the taillights, free of charge.  The recall began March 28, 2019.  Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417.


## 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.
