BMW Recall Summary BMW is recalling 428 vehicles from the 120, 220 Gran Coupe, 120d, 220d Gran Coupe, M135 xDrive, and M235 xDrive Gran Coupe models due to incorrect firmware installed in the LED drivers. This firmware issue can cause rear lights—including brake lights, turn signals, and taillights—to stop working, though restarting the vehicle typically clears the problem temporarily. The affected vehicles will display a check-control warning message when the fault occurs.
