The automaker says oncoming drivers may be confused by the headlights which allow a blue light to illuminate.

The problem also means the vehicles fail to comply with federal safety standards concerning lights and associated equipment.

The BMW blue headlight recall is expected to begin October 26, 2020. BMW dealerships will replace the headlights if needed.
