## What is wrong

BMW of North America, LLC \(BMW\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 X5 sDrive40i, xDrive40i, xDrive50i, X5 M50i, X5M, X6 sDrive40i, xDrive40i, X6 M50i, X6M, X7 M50i and 2021 X5 xDrive45e vehicles.  The headlamps may allow a blue light to illuminate.  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

Oncoming drivers may be confused by the blue light of approaching vehicles, which could potentially increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlamps and, if necessary, replace them, free of charge.  The recall began October 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.
