## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the headlight adjustment plugs were not properly installed when the vehicle was assembled. As a result, the headlights may be adjusted horizontally. Canadian regulations do not allow for horizontal headlight adjustment unless the vehicle is equipped with a built\-in aiming device.

Safety Risk:

Headlights that are not properly adjusted could cause reduced visibility or glare for oncoming drivers, and could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:

BMW will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the headlights. If an incorrect adjustment plug is found, it will be replaced with the correct plug.
