According to BMW, the sunroof function control unit may be programmed incorrectly and allow the sunroof to close without the key fob present inside the vehicle.
The recalled BMW vehicles are equipped with an auto-reversal / anti-trap system, but someone could be injured if the sunroof is closed without the key fob present in the vehicle.
The automaker learned of the problem in March during internal testing. Engineers determined the sunroof software was incorrect for vehicles manufactured for U.S. customers.
BMW says it has not received any crash or injury reports related to the sunroof issue.
BMW dealerships will reprogram the sunroof function control units once recall notices are mailed in June 2022.
Owners of the recalled BMW vehicles may call 800-525-7417.
