2000 BMW 528IT recalls

Recall 00V-048: Exterior Lighting

Reported Feb 17, 2000 · 17,700 vehicles affected · BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE

Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The brake lamps in these vehicles are controlled by a switch activated by the movement of the brake pedal. This switch could fail internally, causing it to remain either in the "brake lamps off" position or in the "brake lamps on" position.

Risk: If this happens, the brake lamps either will not operate or will be continuously illuminated, regardless of brake pedal position.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the existing brake lamp switch with an improved switch.
