## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2019\-2020 Z4 sDrive30i, Z4 M40i and 2020 Toyota Supra vehicles.  The  headlamps are able to be adjusted horizontally.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

Should the headlamps be adjusted horizontally, there could be increased glare and reduced visibility for oncoming drivers, or reduced visibility for the vehicle operator, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlamp vertical and horizontal adjustment plugs, correcting them as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began December 23, 2020.  BMW owners may contact BMW customer service at 1\-800\-525\-7417 or Toyota owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-888\-270\-9371.


## 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.
