Vehicles Affected: Approximately 330 model-year 2020 BMW 330i and M340i sedans

The Problem: The interior trunk release cable may have been improperly installed, preventing the opening of the trunk from the inside. If a person were inside the trunk compartment, they may not be able to get out, increasing the risk of injury.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect the trunk release cable and properly install the cable, as necessary, for free.

What Owners Should Do: BMW will begin notifying owners Dec. 16. Owners can call BMW at 800-525-7417, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
