Consequence

A side case lid that detaches or the case contents that fall out, can create a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will repair the locking mechanism and hinges of the side cases, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 13, 2024. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
