{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"1996158","date":"1996-10-07","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Lights And Instruments","summary":"On certain 325I, 325IC, 325IS, 525I, 525IT, 530I, 530IT, 535I, 540I, 735I, 735IL, 740I, 740IL and 750I, the brake light switch may fail due to a reduction of contact force on the \"snap contact\" system which the switch incorporates.  This could cause heat induced distortion of the plastic internal switch parts in the area of the electrical contacts.  This could cause the switch to remain either in the ON or the OFF position resulting in the brake lights being continuously illuminated or inoperative regardless of brake pedal operation.  Correction: Switch will be replaced with on that utilizes a different contact system.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"RC96-007","part_number":null,"units":9290,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Feux et instruments","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certaines BMW 325I, 325IC, 325IS, 525I, 525IT, 530I, 530IT, 535I, 540I, 735I, 735IL, 740I, 740IL et 750I, le commutateur des feux d’arrêt peut faire défaut en raison d’une réduction de la force de contact de son système de contact à languette incorporé. Des pièces internes de plastique du commutateur se trouvant à proximité de contacts électriques pourraient alors se déformer sous l’effet de la chaleur. Il se pourrait alors que le commutateur reste en position «allumé» ou «éteint» et donc que les feux d’arrêt restent allumés ou éteints en permanence, que l’on appuie sur la pédale de frein ou non.  Correction: Le commutateur devra être remplacé par un dispositif doté d’un système de contact différent."},"vehicles":[{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_325i","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_318i","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_318is","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_318ic","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_325is","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_325ic","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1992_bmw_318ti","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_325i","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_318i","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_318is","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_318ic","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_325is","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_325ic","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1993_bmw_318ti","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_325i","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_318i","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_318is","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_318ic","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_325is","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_325ic","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"3 SERIES","vehicle_id":"1994_bmw_318ti","match":"curated","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1990,"make":"BMW","model":"5 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1991,"make":"BMW","model":"5 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"5 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"5 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"5 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1990,"make":"BMW","model":"7 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1991,"make":"BMW","model":"7 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1992,"make":"BMW","model":"7 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1993,"make":"BMW","model":"7 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1994,"make":"BMW","model":"7 SERIES","vehicle_id":null,"match":null,"built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/1996158"}
