Note: this investigation has resulted in
a vehicle safety recall. Odi has received complaints from consumers stating that their tail light assembly is not properly illuminating. The tail light assembly consists of a turn signal lamp, a tail lamp and a brake lamp. The complainants have indicated that the issue is with an 8 pin connector and associated ground wiring. These components are allegedly overheating and melting due to excessive electrical current that runs through the system. BMW issued a technical service bulletin (TSB) sib-630306 on February 2007 to address the condition by adding supplementary ground wiring to the tail lamp assembly. Odi is upgrading to an ea to further investigate the issue. |
