BMW of North America, LLC "BMW" is recalling certain 2020 330i, 330i xDrive and M340i vehicles.

If a person were inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out, increasing their risk of injury.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the interior trunk release cable and properly install the cable, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 13, 2019. Owners may contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417.
