## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2020 X7 xDrive40i and X7 xDrive50i vehicles.  The rear reflex reflectors may not reflect an adequate amount of light.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

An inadequate amount of reflected light will decrease the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace both rear reflex reflectors, free of charge.  The recall began March 30, 2020.  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.
