Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA identifies two safety concerns for the 2021 BMW M8 Gran Coupe. A brake system defect may cause loss of ABS and reduced braking assistance, increasing crash risk. A rearview camera software issue may produce a missing or reduced image, and relying only on that view can increase the risk of a crash or injury. Waiting can leave these conditions unresolved when you need braking support or a clear view behind the vehicle. Herb Chambers BMW Certified Preowned Medford encourages owners to check the VIN promptly, even if the vehicle seems to drive normally or a previous owner may have addressed the campaign.
