BMW of North America has issued a recall on 241,000 3 Series sedan vehicles from 2002-2005 due to faulty rear lights. The models affected by the issue are the 325i, 325xi, 330i and 330xi built between 2001 and 2005. The rear light problem is caused by resistance in the electrical contacts. If not replaced, the problem may lead to one or more rear lamp functions (tail light, brake light, and or turn-signal) to fail.
BMW has decided to proceed with a recall after more than 3,000 warranty claims were filled. Good thing there are no accidents or injuries that have resulted to the problem.
BMW informed the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that 20% or more than 40,000 vehicles have already been repaired. NHTSA has been investigating the issue since April 2009 and upgraded the investigation in December 2009, when it said it had reports of 935 complaints or warranty claims of faulty lights.
