Headlight Recall

tex2670 · 05-19-2023, 10:42 AM

Anyone know about this?

My BMW page finally said that the airbag recall remedy is available, so I called the dealer to make an appointment. SA told me that they are showing a headlight recall as well, but that's not showing in My Garage.

Service write up calls it: B630623 Service Action: Headlamp (HL) Gap

Word "gap" is making me think they need to adjust the lights?

Not sure I know some with the adaptive lights have had issues as they were sent out not configured correctly.

US X1s don't get full adaptive headlights. Only auto high-beams.

Yeah I've read that - outside of that not seen anything else mentioned. Post back if they share details. The other issue was a software fix so no idea what the US light fix might be. Could be just a check they are set right?!?!

Its actually the gap around the headlight which apparently is to narrow and could cause the paint to rub off, mine is on the recall as well.

Dear Sir or Madam,
BMW AG have initiated a Technical Campaign for affected U11 series vehicles due to a possible
alignment issue with the front light combination units, contact can occur between the lamp assembly
and the front wing/side panel. Over a period, corrosion may occur if the paintwork is damaged,

personally, I'll wait, if I ever get the recall notice. I'm a chicken... (better than being a guinea pig, I suppose?)

assuming it's the same headlight gap recall, someone had the recall done and the gap became very large

Is the gap they mention not related to the wing and the light and not the bonnet though. Seems the two are getting conflated. That gap to the bonnet seems a bit big, but that isn't what the recall mentions.

We call a hood a bonnet in the UK, same thing.

Don’t start talking about boots on cars or you’ll really confuse us.

I have a service appointment on Monday for a headlight gap recall for my X1 20i M Sport (Poland)

How long does the work take for the headlight

Not needed to have it done but as its probably a loosen a few bolts and move the light forwards a few mm and then tighten them I'd hope its sub an hour!

I was on adjustment a month ago. The service visit lasts depending on whether they only need to adjust - 1 day - or give an additional headlight gasket - 2 days.

I always keep my boots in my trunk.... so if I'm in the UK, do I say that I have my boots in the boot?

speaking of boots... my cat's name is Moggy... which makes no sense if we live in England? (Moggy is a cat... it will be like naming him "Cat"?) Should have named him "Boots" because when he was a couple of months old, he somehow managed to crawl into my boot and slept inside.(which was terribly scary because I once tried to put on the boots without realizing that he was inside)

Lol, yes, we would say "my boots are in the boot"!

Also yes, 'moggy' is a slang word for a cat, normally used for a cat that is equivalent to a 'mutt' type of dog (non-pedigree).

Love your story about your cat crawling into a boot. Cats seem to like crawling into impossibly small places.

Mine in Japan was reviewed during last service and not affected by the headlight recall
